Tribute to Michael Bublé

Atouring jazz tribute group is expected to light up Horsham Town Hall on March 1.

Shades of Bublé: A Three-man Tribute to Michael Bublé features the talents of Adam Rennie, Nicholas Ziobro and Ryan Connolly.

About two years ago, Rennie returned to Australia from his Newyork base and starred in the production of Rocky Horror Show.

Performing on stages in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne, the home-grown star is returning to Australia for the new show.

Adam joins fellow New Yorkers, Ziobro and Connolly in a show touring regional Victoria in February and March.

A fan of Bublé throughout his childhood and young musical career, Rennie is a renowned Australian performer splitting his life between inner city Sydney and the skyscrapers of Manhattan’s Broadway.

He has spent a significant amount of time performing in more than 40 states in shows such as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Once We Lived Here and the US national tour of Flashdance – The Musical.

Between American pursuits Rennie has taken to the stage in Australasian performances of Crazy for You, Jekyll and Hyde, The Producers, Prodigal and Love Never Dies.

On his last stint in Australasia, in May and June last year, he performed as the lead role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch in Christchurch’s Court Theatre.

The 60-minute show is designed to give audiences seamless variety by combining big-band standards from the jazz era, classic hits from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, as well as Billboard chart toppers from today.

Rennie, Ziobro and Connolly perform a set list ranging from Bublé’s Motown hits, through to his Sinatra chart-toppers.
