New York Cabaret Star Scott Coulter in “Fella Sings Ella” February 18 at GPAC
[Sarasota, FL: January 23, 2015] Lauded for his soaring high notes, purity of tone and way with a lyric, Scott Coulter has been called “the male Ella Fitzgerald” which explains why his show celebrating the songs made famous by this iconic singer, has been so successful. Scott Coulter presents his show, “The Fella Sings Ella,” at 8:00 PM on Wednesday, February 18, 2015, at the Glenridge Performing Arts Center (7333 Scotland Way, Sarasota).
No, Coulter’s not singing in drag or doing an impersonation, but this multi-award-winning vocalist dedicates an entire evening to the First Lady of Song and lovingly puts his own stamp on Fitzgerald classics from the Great American Songbook. Shedding light on the life story of the greatest female jazz singer of all time, this alluring program features “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” “Mack The Knife,” “Embraceable You” and many more favorites. It’s an unforgettable musical tribute you won’t want to miss.
