Touring the world to standing ovations, he is touching the hearts and minds of all who experience his gift for song.

While incorporating a swagger and style that evokes Sinatra, Davi shuns imitation, instead bringing his unique and exciting actor's edge to the performance. More than a concert, this reflective program whisks audiences through the Sinatraland of 5 decades. Expect a fun and entertaining evening, with crooner Davi backed by a hard-swinging rhythm section!
