But what truly sets him apart is his unique talent when it comes to channeling other artists like Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash. In fact, we don’t exactly know who will be joining him on stage! He looks like them; he sounds like them. What more can we ask? This is a great ladies night out show, but the guys will love it too.
Friday, December 11: Chelsea Faulds and Pianist Marc Beecher -Tickets go on sale October 1. This one-night performance will be the first time we’ve had a Nightclub show in December. Chelsea is definitely one of the best performers in Arizona. She and Marc will mix it up with some Christmas favorites as well as the standards we love.
