🔥 TITO PUENTE, JR. returns to Catalina Jazz Club, ! Join us...

The comparison is inevitable. How could it be otherwise? Tito Puente Jr. carries his father with him – imprinted on his physical being and locked in his soul. It’s in his looks, his joy, and his music.Tito, Jr. is on a passionate mission. The younger Puente is determined to nurture the musical legacy left by his father. He refuses to let his father become a distant memory. “He was just too vibrant, too exciting. There was magic in the music my father made. It made people happy all over the world.”

He has found captive audiences who echo his passion. Crowds lured to a venue by the father are returning to see the son — and to once again participate in the high voltage celebration that takes place on stage.

Tito Puente, Jr. has become an audience favorite in casinos, performing arts centers, symphony halls and jazz festivals worldwide, performing more than 300 shows over the past 5 years.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Joan Rivers candidly told CYBILL SHEPHERD that she was “Queen of the F’ng Lucky Club,” something she embraced wholeheartedly. She was 16 when she won the Miss Teenage Memphis pageant. After graduating high school, she followed up on a model agency invitation to New York and was named winner of the Model of The Year pageant. As a result, Her career soared. It was one look at Cybill on a Glamour magazine cover by Peter Bogdanovich that landed the 21-year-old her breakthrough movie role in The Last Picture Show. This glance catapulted her acting career and led her to be cast in The Heartbreak Kid and Taxi Driver. She went on to receive four Golden Globes and multiple Emmy nominations.
While most have known Cybill from TV and film, she says “I was a singer first.” At age nine, she was invited to join Holy Communion Episcopal Church choir in Memphis and was training with a vocal coach by sixteen. During her high school years, she started a folk group, Cybill and Friends, that surprisingly generated income. Cybill leaned into her Memphis roots, creating a diverse & extensive repertoire including jazz standards, blues, and pop. The live on-screen musical comedy At Long Last Love and the notable TV roles in The Cybill Show and Moonlighting with Bruce Willis gave her the opportunity to exhibit her live musical talent.

As “luck” would have it, Cybill has performed on acclaimed stage

Just like those holiday variety Christmas specials we remember from when we were kids! "The Fruit Cake Follies" is all that and much MORE! It’s just a good ol’ fashioned show that’s drunk too much egg nog.

Some say the show is a cross between a Perry Como Christmas special and P*e Wee's Playhouse. Others say the old Muppet Show, with the host trying to hold the show together as all these crazy characters are all around him.

When the Follies’ Fruitcakes get together there’s plenty of Music, Merriment and Mirth! One thing sure, you'll leave with the Christmas spirit!

Written and Directed for the past 27 years by James Gray. And every year is a New theme and a New Show!
