                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 23, 2006 -- The best is yet to come as singer and recording artist Russ Lorenson (<a href="http://www.russlorenson.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">http://www.russlorenson.com</a>) honors the legendary Tony Bennett in his new show, &quot;Benedetto/Blessed: A Tribute to the Life and Music of Tony Bennett.&quot;  With musical direction by renowned jazz artist Kelly Park and written by Lorenson, &quot;Benedetto/Blessed&quot; premieres July 30th in San Francisco, and from there will play in select cities throughout California and the East coast. The show was created, in part, to honor Mr. Bennett&#8217;s 80th birthday, which he will celebrate August 3, 2006.



Frank Sinatra once called Mr. Bennett &#8220;the best singer in the business.&#8221; In tribute to Mr. Bennett, whose birth name translates to &#8220;blessed&#8221; in Italian, and his successful career spanning over five decades, Lorenson will perform an array of the crooner&#8217;s hits in the warm and husky style of the star, including &#8220;I Left My Heart in San Francisco,&#8221; &#8220;Fly Me To The Moon,&#8221; &#8220;Because of You&#8221; and &#8220;The Shadow of Your Smile.&#8221;

&#8220;I find great inspiration in Mr. Bennett&#8217;s music and artistic vision,&#8221; says Lorenson. &#8220;The Great American Songbook has had no greater champion, and I am honored to be singing Mr. Bennett&#8217;s greatest hits.&#8221;

Russ Lorenson is currently performing &quot;Benedetto/Blessed&quot; in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. The show pays tribute to the legendary Tony Bennett with Lorenson performing a variety of Mr. Bennett&#8217;s most popular songs. The show is musically directed by Kelly Park and written by Lorenson.

Lorenson&#8217;s last cabaret show, &quot;A Little Travelin&#8217; Music,&quot; played to sold-out audiences on both coasts, including San Francisco&#039;s legendary Empire Plush Room and The Hideaway Room at Helen&#8217;s in New York City. His debut CD, of the same name, was released in May 2006 on the LML Music label (<a href="http://www.lmlmusic.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">http://www.lmlmusic.com</a> ) and features songs from his cabaret show and includes duets with special guests Shawn Ryan and Klea Blackhurst. Lorenson&#8217;s second CD, &quot;What I Want For Christmas,&quot; will hit music stores in September 2006.

&quot;Benedetto, Blessed: A Tribute to the Life and Music of Tony Bennett&quot; plays:
July 30, Kelly&#8217;s of Alameda, Alameda, CA
August 5, The Rainbow Room at The Depot Restaurant, Napa, CA
August 8-9, The Empire Plush Room, San Francisco, CA
August 11-12 &#38; 18-19, Sterling&#8217;s Upstairs, Los Angeles, CA

...with more dates to come.  Visit <a href="http://www.russlorenson.com/tour" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">http://www.russlorenson.com/tour</a> for more information.

About Russ Lorenson

Since his breakout club debut, Lorenson has quickly established a reputation as one of the San Francisco Bay Area&#8217;s leading interpreters of jazz standards.  As a singer, he is equally at home whether entertaining a concert hall audience or performing in the more intimate cabaret setting.  With comparisons to Tony Bennett, Mel Torm&#233;, and Chet Baker, Lorenson has a voice one savors and remembers.

In recognition of his solid and sophisticated musical vocabulary, Talkin&#8217;Broadway.com called Russ &#8220;an elegant performer who has faultless musical taste and vocal phrasing.  He has a voice that is reminiscent of some of the great singers like Tony Bennett, Chet Baker and a little of Mel Torm&#233;.&#8221;  The Los Angeles Times said that he brings &#8220;a supple voice and strong sense of...
