Seth MacFarlane, five-time Grammy nominated vocalist and Emmy Award-winning entertainer, is bringing his signature big-band style and rich baritone vocals to Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas this July.
Fresh off the June 6th release of his highly anticipated ninth studio album, “Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements,” MacFarlane will perform for three unforgettable nights at this intimate venue on Thursday, July 3, Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5.
Accompanied by a world-class 29-piece orchestra conducted by composer Joel McNeely, MacFarlane will deliver a memorable weekend of popular standards and effortless wit. He and his orchestra will unveil some never-before-heard arrangements from his latest album, direct from Frank Sinatra’s archive. Complementing Voltaire’s glitz and glamour, this performance nods to the Golden Age of Las Vegas, celebrating the lush sound and classic entertainment that helped shape the city’s storied history.
“It’s a rare treat to perform in a top-tier Las Vegas venue like Voltaire, and to revisit the great history of orchestral jazz that once flourished in this town. And I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to do so alongside a world-class orchestra, and my longtime musical collaborator, Joel McNeely,” said MacFarlane.
“Seth’s musical prowess for this genre, coupled with his captivating on-stage presence, is unmatched. We approached each session of his new album as if preparing for a live concert, so I’m delighted to bring some of popular music’s best and our never-before-performed arrangements to Voltaire in exactly that capacity – and in a city that is synonymous with Frank Sinatra. And to then be accompanied by the finest players in the business, most of whom have performed alongside Frank and greats like Tony Bennett, is a pinch-me moment,” said McNeely.
A night worth dressing up for, cocktail attire is encouraged. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show begins at 9 p.m.
