James Barbour brought his holiday concert straight from New York to the Colony Theatre in Burbank for one performance only Monday December 21 at 7pm. The benefit for the Colony co-starred rock/jazz singer Michelle Wolf with husband, brilliant musician Peter Wolf accompanying. Barbour referred to him as 'Chopin at the piano!'
The hour and a half set gave singer par excellence Barbour a chance to show his lighter side - he is one helluva funny storyteller - as he engaged the audience in an interactive '12 Days of Christmas', the Hawaiian 'Mele Kalikimaka' and the 'Dreidel Song' ('Growing up in New Jersey, mine was the only house that had Christmas lights.'). On a more serious note, Barbour performed stunning renditions of 'O Holy Night' (his late mom's favorite), Frank Wildhorn's 'Measure of a Man', 'Believe' and 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year'.
