Brian Evans brings his big band to the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on Saturday, May 20 at 8 p.m. in a concert produced by The Maui Celebrity Series.
Labeled by Grammy Magazine as “one of the most relevant crooners in the style of Sinatra of this generation,” Evans performed 377 shows at The Desert Inn in Las Vegas, once home to Sinatra, and recorded the first live album from the venue. His version of Sinatra’s “New York, New York,” has millions of views on YouTube and more than two billion views on TikTok. In his concert at Aventura, he will be backed by Grammy® Award-winning musical director Gary Anderson, who is known for his work with Sinatra.
Evans’ music is produced by Narada Michael Walden, legendary producer of Whitney Houston, George Michael and Elton John. A successful songwriter and novelist, Evans has a 150-song catalog that continues to be licensed for shows ranging from the Netflix series “BoJack Horseman” to “So You Think You Can Dance.”
Sports fans know of Evans work through his song “At Fenway,” which was added to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the music video for his“It’s A Beautiful Game,” which is broadcast in over 2,000 soccer fields across the world.
As a performer, Evans has opened concerts for such stars as Frankie Valli, Dionne Warwick, Jay Leno, Rob Schneider, David Spade and Roseanne Barr, among others. He worked with Joan Rivers, Bob Saget and Louie Anderson and was booked to open for all three at the time of their passing.
Before turning to singing, Evans enjoyed an acting career landing his first national television commercialas a teenager, followed by a role in the Charles Bronson film Death Wish IV. Soon he was cast in the role as “Keanu,” on the hit television show, Full House, followed by a role in the New Line Cinema film Book of Love.
Evans is returning to the concert stage after several years following the passing of his mother who died tragically when her sleep apnea was not properly addressed in the hospital. After years of Evans’ advocacy, hospital policy nationwide was changed to make certain that sleep apnea patients are provided wristbands and is now one of the first questions a hospital asks prior to a patient being admitted.
Evans is now ready to go back in the spotlight with his intimate concert at Aventura as he works on a new album.Tickets are $45-$125 with those purchasing tickets in rows A or B invited to a post-show meet and greet.
