Jonathan Poretz: The Crooners The Songs of Frank Sinatra & Bobby Darin

Sunday, April 5, 2020 @ 3:00PMSun, Apr 5, 2020 @ 3:00PM

El Campanil Theatre, 602 West 2nd Street, Antioch

The Bay Area’s favorite crooner, Jonathan Poretz, returns to the El Campanil Theatre in Antioch on Sunday, April 5, 2020, with his highly acclaimed and high-octane show, pitting the Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin against each other in a musical battle royale!

Fans of Sinatra and Darin are as faithful and diehard as they come. You’re either with or against one or the other. Though the two never shared a stage, Poretz brings these two musical icons together, in concert, for the first time.

Regardless of whose camp you’re in, prepare yourself for an exhilarating musical afternoon as Poretz and his ultra-swingin’ Little Big Band, pit Sinatra and Darin classics against each other in a musical Clash of the Titans.

Among the song battles that will be played out on the El Campanil stage: “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” vs. “Mack The Knife”, “I’m Gonna Live ‘Til I Die" vs. “As Long As I’m Singing”, “Fly Me To The Moon” vs. “Charade”, “My Way” vs. "Beyond The Sea," "The Best Is Yet To Come" vs. "This Could Be The Start Of Something Big," "New York, New York" vs. “The Curtain Falls” and many more.
