54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents George Young in Singin’ and Swingin’ on June 19th at 7:00pm. Mr. Young, an accomplished entertainer, brings his musicianship and vocal dexterity in celebration of Juneteenth and all that this day represents. Through a well curated repertoire of songs George Young will pay his respect to the Harlem Renaissance, to the Apollo, to Baltimore’s Royal Theater (under whose shadow, he grew up), to Broadway, to the songs born out of the never-ending struggles of Black Americans, and will pay special tribute to Nat King Cole, before closing with his take on Lou Rawls’, You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine.
Vocal stylist, educator, George Young grew up listening to the sounds emanating from the clubs and performance venues that lined his neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland, as well as a healthy dose of Gospel music from the many churches that co-existed in his community. His interest in music has always been a front-facing part of his identity and he has continued the development of his craft, performing regularly at local clubs and famed after-hour spaces all around New York City. For this appearance, he has enlisted the musical support of four exceptional musicians including musical director Tedd Firth, a noted pianist and arranger who has worked with some of the greats, including Bernadette Peters, Michael Feinstein, Maureen McGovern, Leslie Uggams, Elaine Paige and many others. Joining George at 54Below is renowned New York based, bassist Tom Hubbard whose long list of performances include playing with Kenny Barron, accompanying singers Joe Williams, Sheila Jordan, Liza Minnelli and Marilyn Maye, to name a few. Adding his incredible talent to the evening is saxophone virtuoso Eugene Ghee who has collaborated with legends, Art Blakey and Stevie Wonder and whose legacy in the jazz world is well established. Rounding out this extraordinary quartet is Toronto born, New York based drummer Mark McLean, one of the most versatile musicians on the scene, he has played with the likes of Andrea Bocelli, George Michael and many others.
