For "Simply the Best," his third show at TCAN: The Center for Arts in Natick (14 Summer Street, Natick, MA - 508-904-7171), Boston-area singer Steven SanSoucie will change from is usual song list of tunes from the 60s & 70s to take on the hits of the 80s. This new show, which takes place on Sunday, October 24th at 7:30 pm, is simply what SanSoucie does best: he will entertain the audience with a playlist that was chosen with his head and will be sung with his heart. The name "Simply the Best" was chosen for two reasons, according to SanSoucie. First, it is the title of one of Tina Turner's hits, but secondly, and even more importantly, it is a version of his own greatest hits album, as he will be singing some of the best musical numbers from his past shows. Joining him on the TCAN stage is his husband and musical soul mate, Rob Wendel, who serves as musical director and will perform on keyboards. The backup band is comprised of Randy Cloutier on percussion, Kevin Coyne on guitar, and Lee Whalen on bass.
