Russ Lorenson's 10th Annual CHRISTMAS IN SAN FRANCISCO Set for Feinstein's at the Nikko

Bay Area crooner Russ Lorenson returns to Feinstein's at the Nikko with his 10th annual Christmas in San Francisco show on Friday, December 11 at 8 p.m. Backed by the 16-piece Kelly Park Big Band, Lorenson will present a swingin' evening of seasonal tunes sure to get you in the holiday spirit. The evening will also celebrate the release of Lorenson's new holiday album, "In the Holiday Spirit." Tickets for Russ Lorenson are $35 and are available now by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.

Russ is heard each year on "The Bay Area's Official Christmas Station - 96.5 KOIT-FM" with his recording of "Christmas in San Francisco," and like the San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol at A.C.T., and the ice rink in Union Square, the show has become an annual Bay Area holiday tradition.

Lorenson has established a reputation as one of the San Francisco Bay Area's leading interpreters of jazz standards, with a sound and approach that place him at the intersection of Broadway, jazz, and pop - the very essence of the Great American Songbook. Best known for his critically acclaimed tributes to Tony Bennett and Bobby Darin, his one-man celebrations of the lives and music of these two musical icons have played to sold- out audiences across North America. His two previous CDs have received extensive radio airplay in major markets across the US. Jazz Review says that "Lorenson is not just a crooner covering the traditional Sinatra style or trying to be the next Connick; he is his own man."

"In The Holiday Spirit" has been awarded four stars by the editors of Downbeat, the world's preeminent jazz publication, and will be included in the magazine's prestigious "Best Albums of 2015" list.
