Steven Maglio Performs as Part of "Sinatra: Remembering the Sands" at the Carnegie Club

Accomplished singer/performer Steven Maglio and the acclaimed eleven- piece Stan Rubin Orchestra will open a new show entitled Sinatra: Remembering The Sands as part of the popular Saturday evening songfest Sounds of Sinatra on Tuesday, January 9th at 8:30PM at The Carnegie Club (156 West 56th Street). Sounds of Sinatra plays every Saturday evening and features two shows: Sinatra: Remembering The Sands, the new 8:30PM show, followed by his acclaimed Sinatra encore show, Sinatra Songs at 10:30PM.

Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, and The Sands Hotel are all gone, but the excitement of that blend of musical performance will come to life every Saturday evening at The Carnegie Club, just as if it were Las Vegas in 1960s all over again.

The Sands Hotel first presented Frank Sinatra for a week-long engagement in 1953 and three months later, he bought a share in the hotel and casino. The hotel\'s most famous claim to fame was a 3-week period in 1960, during the Las Vegas filming of the movie Ocean's Eleven. The management organized an event in the Copa Room called the ummit at the Sands, where for the first time, the stars of the film: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford performed on stage together. They would forever be known as the Rat Pack." Sinatra continued to perform at the hotel through 1967.

Though not an impersonator, Steven Maglio is especially appreciated for his renditions of songs made popular by Frank Sinatra. Each show highlights different songs from Old Blue Eyes' legendary career. In Sinatra: Remembering The Sands, Maglio and the 11-piece big band orchestra will showcase many of the songs that Sinatra performed at the famous Las Vegas hotel including such classics as “Luck Be A Lady," I've Got You Under My Skin and “The Way You Look Tonight," followed by the later encore show which includes the favorites “Night and Day," and “Fly Me To The Moon." Considered by many to be the country's premiere Sinatra tributeer, The Daily News wrote, “if Sinatra saw the show, Steven Maglio would be the one he'd choose to sing his songs."

Steven Maglio sang his first Frank Sinatra song, “My Kind of Town" when he was eight years old. It wasn't until 2002, however, that the New York native made his stage debut singing with Joe Battaglia and The New York Big Band at Tavern on the Green. Steven has performed at The Rainbow Room, The Blue Note, The Sands Hotel in Atlantic City, The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and is set to return to headline with The Guayaquil Symphony Orchestra of Ecuador in the summer of 2007. Steven first performed at The Carnegie Club in 2003 as their Sinatra substitute before becoming their headliner in 2004 with his show, Sinatra Songs. Steven is a member of The Friars Club and MAC.
