Reviews

"What could be more entertaining than spending a couple of hours listening to the tunes made famous by Tony Bennett? No matter what age, not much. That makes 'I Left My Heart' a joy from the outset. ...rarely does the production register as needing a richer sound, especially when Davis, Goldhaber and Shane harmonize. The sound is amazing."
- Joan Vadeboncoeur, Syracuse Post

"... a classy review of the musician’s best loved songs. There was no lack of talent abound the three tenors, who each shines at various points in the evening."
- Katie Hall, The Cortland Standard

"Shane brought a youthful energy allied to a sweet voice, and did a surprising 'Fly Me to the Moon' unplugged. Davis was smooth and mellow, making his 'Days of Wine and Roses' a highlight of the evening. Goldhaber proved to be an interesting vocal stylist, exhibiting a keen crooner’s instinct."
- Paul Hansom, Ithaca Times
