Elegance, style, sophistication, integrity, longevity — these are just a few of the words that come to mind when thinking about Tony Bennett.

He is considered an international treasure and has been honored by the United Nations with its Citizen of the World award.

Mitch Seekins, a professional singer for more than 25 years, carries himself with much of the same relaxed, elegant, charismatic style as Bennett himself.

While not a note-for-note, look-alike tribute artist, Mitch provides an experience that celebrates the music and accomplishments of Tony Bennett. His voice possesses a wonderful richness that carries through Bennett’s music perfectly.

Mitch’s respect for Bennett and his passion for music led him to develop “Mitch Seekins Sings the Great Tony Bennett.”

This show will be full of anecdotes and interesting tidbits and treated to a glimpse of the career and legacy of one of the world’s most beloved artists.

This program is free and open to all!  This program is made possible through the Concordia Parish Library Board and staff who writes the grant and receives the Decentralized Art Funds.

This grant is funded by the Arts Council of Central Louisiana, the Arts Council of Northeast Louisiana, Louisiana Division of the Arts and Louisiana Presenters Network.

Also co-sponsoring this concert are the Arcade Theater, Concordia Bank and the Riverfront Comfort Suites.

These partners are very important in bringing this great music to the community! Join me at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Arcade Theater in Ferriday to hear Mitch Seekins sing the great Tony Bennett.
