Steve Ross
In a review published by "The London Times," Clive Davis writes of Ross, “… his timing is immaculate, his piano playing has all the grace of a Fred Astaire dance routine, and no one, with the possible exception of the much more flamboyant Michael Feinstein, possesses such an encyclopaedic knowledge of the vintage songbook. Ross was born to sing Puttin' on the Ritz; he played stylish games with the tempo, dragging it back and forth without once losing his balance.”
Ross will be joined onstage on second piano by Bruno Casolari.
The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. in Boler Garden with fine fare catered by The Sanctuary Golf Club. Ross takes the stage with Casolari at 8 p.m., with champagne and dessert to follow in Boler Garden.
