Rome Saladino's FEELIN' GOOD - A SALUTE TO MICHAEL BUBLE Comes to Aventura And Boca Raton In December!

Multi-talented singer/dancer/actor/choreographer Rome Saladino will celebrate the stylings of Grammy and Juno Award-winner Michael Bublé in Feelin' Good - A Tribute to Michael Bublé at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center on December 20th and return to the Boca Black Box Center for the Arts on December 23rd. (The show was a sell-out when it played at the Boca Black Box in April.)

Saladino will sing the songs that made the popular singer-songwriter a world-renowned phenomenon. He will be accompanied by a seventeen-piece band at Aventura, and (due to space constraints) a seven-piece band at the Boca Black Box, talented dancers, and special guest star Cantor Geniene Shelley.

"Many people ask me why I tribute Michael Bublé," Saladino says. "Well, because he truly brings ALL GENERATIONS TOGETHER! Other artists do amazing jobs in their individual styles and genres, but he brought back the music of the last 100 years and made it cool again!"

Inspired by Bublé's Jazzy Big Band style, Saladino will perform the hits that put the Canadian superstar on the charts -"Haven't Met You Yet", "Everything", and "Home", and will channel 'Frank, Dean, Ray, and Ella' with classics such as "Feeling Good", "Come Fly With Me", "Cry Me a River", and "Sway. The evening will also include covers of The Beatles, The Eagles, Otis Redding, and Queen. The show will also feature some of Bublé's beloved renditions of everyone's favorite holiday classics.
