Best Dressed Band/Artist - Ben Sharkey
“Word of advice, fellas: take your lovely significant others to see Detroit’s own crooner, Ben Sharkey. His soulful take on jazz standards are guaranteed to impress whomever you bring. Second word of advice, fellas: blindfold said significant other while at Sharkey’s show. Dude straight kills any onlooker with his debonair Cary Grant-ness. Even if blindfolded, your lover still might not leave. Sharkey’s kind of singing is rare, but cherished in today’s world. Drawing comparisons to some classic names like Connick Jr. and Torme, Sharkey is a sight and sound to behold.”

Happy Valentines day to my Sharksters! :,D

This is what my lunch break often consists of - running songs with the very talented Bob Mervak. This is “There is No Greater Love” with Bob Mervak on Piano. Enjoy!
