LOS ANGELES: TOM CULVER: COLE PORTER AT THE GARDENIA
Tom Culver brings his show celebrating the songs of Cole Porter to THE GARDENIA (7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444) on Thursday, May 14th at 9:00 pm. The show will play later this year at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM in NYC. He is joined by The Rick Hills Trio. As a boy, Tom Culver was mesmerized by the flicking images on the silver screen as he sat transfixed in the darkness of the small-town South Dakota movie palaces. Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Donald O'Connor and Dan Daily glided across lacquered dance floors with their glamorous partners and the die was cast. The Navy offered a ticket from the snow swept plains. After service, Tom located in Oakland, California and discovered the Bay Area's theater and music scenes. A succession of record deals with small labels led to a signing with Dot Records where he cut his first singles. But as the company was absorbed by international giant, Gulf & Western, it was a tumultuous era of rock & roll and many traditional pop artists, Tom included, found themselves out of the mix. So he reinvented himself in Hollywood as a wardrobe man for film and television productions. As a set costumer, he dressed a cast of stars, and was honored to work on Murder She Wrote starring Angela Lansbury. Tom also penned The Murder She Wrote Cookbook. But the music still echoed. He found a community of like-minded vocalists at piano bars and clubs in Los Angeles, and thanks to the success of artists like Harry Connick Jr. and Diana Krall, traditional pop music was once again being heard. Tom's audiences understood the nuances of this music as he performed at intimate venues including Hollywood's Gardenia. And songwriting offered still another avenue for expressive creativity. Today, in addition to his singing career, Tom takes jazz and tap dance classes, and pursues his hobby of photography. Blessed with a vital physicality, he notes his only vice is a penchant for strong coffee. With the realization of Lucky to Be Me, Tom is already moving into the next chorus of his vibrant, ever expanding life of artistry. Call for cover/minimum information.
