The Jimmy Moe Show: Tribute to Frank Sinatra
Posted September 13, 2014 at 5:22 am by Peggy Sue McRae
Jimmy Moe pays tribute to Frank Sinatra in the Gubelman Theatre at San Juan Community Theatre on Saturday, September 27, at 7:30 pm. All tickets are $15.
San Juan Island’s Jimmy Moe has a plan for his senior years and it starts in the Gubelman with his one-man tribute to the smooth sounds of Frank Sinatra and the great American songs of the ‘50s and ‘60s.
A few years ago, when Jimmy and his son were having fun with karaoke and found a Sinatra song, they realized Jimmy had a voice so much like “ol’ blue eyes” (and he has the blue eyes too), that it seemed only natural to start focusing on the music of Sinatra’s time. The concert is also honoring Jimmy’s parents who were both professional night club singers in the Snohomish area (The Johnny Moe Show).
Jimmy will replace his usual general contractor clothes (he’s worked on the island for 14 years now), don a suit and tie and sing favorites like Night and Day, Luck be a Lady and I’ve Got You Under My Skin. “I want to present songs in a way that are worthy of the writers, arrangers and orchestra of that day,” said Jimmy.
Jimmy plans to take a hiatus from his gigs with the One More Time Band once he goes solo and hopes to take The Jimmy Moe Show on tour. “It beats swinging a hammer,” he said. “I’m looking to be wearing a suit and singing well into my 80s.”
