the bobby darin story
with rod gilbert & his band
The Bobby Darin Story celebrates the life of this great performer through music and multi-media. Think, The Copa Room in The Sands Hotel in Vegas in the 1950’s!
Rod Gilbert, a consummate performer, singer and musician of the Australian music scene for many years now, presents his show featuring an outstanding band, containing some of the greatest talent in the country. Critics compare his smooth warm tones to the likes of Sinatra and Bobby Darin. Rod also has a unique ability to make every member of an audience feel that they are experiencing a truly personal performance
With finger snappin’ vocals, a fedora tilted just so (to begin with anyway) and banter reminiscent of the Rat Pack, Rod Gilbert makes it all look and sound so effortless. Music lovers are treated to smokin’ renditions of classic love songs and signature tunes of Bobby Darin. Splish Splash, Beyond the Sea, Dream Lover, Clementine, Multiplication, Mack the Knife and so many more!
