CABARET TONIGHT IN BOSTON - TORONTO - D.C. - MARYLAND
BOSTON: THE PAUL BYROM HOLIDAY SHOW
The Paul Byrom Holiday Show will be presented at
THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757 - ) on Saturday, December 21st at 7:30 pm. Paul Byrom is hailed as Ireland's premier young tenor and with good reason. From an early age, his special vocal gift brought him the attention of music industry scouts and fans alike. The Dublin-born tenor began voice lessons and training when he was just seven years old and later he had the opportunity to study under the legendary Dr. Veronica Dunne, Ireland's leading lady of opera. In 2007, Paul was invited to join Celtic Thunder as a soloist. Immediately, fans nicknamed Byrom "The Swanky Tenor" for his suave and romantic style in performing, which is clearly evident on such numbers as "Remember Me Recuerde Me" and "She" and even Billy Joel's "Lullaby". His amazing versatility allows him to explore repertoire ranging from opera to standards to pop and Broadway. Paul recently released his newest CD - This is the Moment - which instantly topped the World Music and Amazon charts, and he just completed his first solo tour in the U.S. to rave reviews. A true triple threat, Paul's talents as a singer, actor and dancer continue to keep his fans anxiously awaiting his next step. There is a $30 cover.

A tape of her voice sent to the Crusaders' Wilton Felder landed for her a spot touring with that group, with Lynne handling lead vocals on such songs as "Street Life." She then briefly attended Boston's prestigious Berklee School of Music before moving to Los Angeles to further her musical life. Fiddmont has spent virtually her entire career supporting others. An in-demand backing vocalist, she has worked with such artists as Patti Austin, Stevie Wonder, Lou Rawls, Phil Collins, Yolanda Adams and her mentor, the late great Carl Anderson.
