The Star-Spangled Songbook with Dave DeLuca

Details

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of Independence Day with Dave DeLuca’s Star-Spangled Songbook. This musical tribute honors the iconic American composers and lyricists who shaped our nation’s soundtrack and defined a body of work that is uniquely American.

DeLuca guides audiences on a journey through the lives and experiences of the Greatest Generation, including those who came of age during the Great Depression, served in World War II, or supported the war effort on the home front. From the catchy melodies of Tin Pan Alley and Broadway classics to sophisticated jazz standards and the patriotic songs that won the war, this program showcases the music that lifted spirits during our country's most pivotal moments.

Featured songs include "Blue Skies," "Cheek To Cheek," "S'Wonderful," "Embraceable You," "You Made Me Love You," "Anything Goes," "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing," "Ain't Misbehavin'," and "It's Only A Paper Moon."
