SUMMARY:Ben Sharkey
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n**************************************************************************************************​\nOne of Detroit’s premiere live entertainers over the past ten years plus\, Ben Sharkey infuses his live performances with a hip and sultry fire\, bringing his artful swagger to the stage with a\ncolorful fusion of old school cool\, contemporary jazz\, soul and pop. Since the charismatic\nvocalist posted his first raw home videos of himself singing Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra\nclassics to YouTube in 2007\, he has amassed over 5 million views worldwide for over 70 clips. \nBy increasingly popular demand\, the Michigan native has amassed hundreds of performances at jazz hotspots like Cliff Bell’s and a five year and counting residency at the Axis Lounge at the MGM Grand Detroit. He’s been compared to everyone from Frank and Buble to Dean Martin\, Mel Torme and Harry Connick\, Jr. – yet he’s evolved from being a stellar vocal interpreter to master storyteller and songwriter. \nCollaborating with his pianist Chris Codish\, Ben has written clever\, crafty tunes expressing every aspect of love\, deep heartfelt connections and the sheer joy of living life to the fullest in the sexiest\, naughtiest\, most sensual and playful way possible. Stylistically\, he lets his muse lead the way to booming percussion driven landscapes infused with jazz\, pop\, swing\, R&B\, Latin and crisp\, edgy house-dance beats that make him the ultimate contemporary hipster as well as a masterful throwback artist.

This quest has taken Russ around North America: from his hometown of Kelowna\, BC to Montreal\, Boston\, Toronto\, St. Louis\, Miami\, and currently the Windsor/Detroit area.  Russ has performed with acclaimed artists and ensembles in many genres including Jimmy Heath\, Cecil McBee\, Dave Holland\, The Marley Bros (Ziggy\, Stephen\, Julian\, Ky-Mani\, and Damian)\, John Williams\, Quincy Jones\, amongst many others. \nA virtuoso performer\, Russ is equally skilled as a lead and jazz trumpeter\, and has performed in professional productions of musicals such as In the Heights. His lead trumpet playing is featured on the two most recent albums by the University of Miami Concert Jazz Band: Europa: Explorations for Jazz Ensemble and Justin Morell: Concerto for Guitar and Jazz Orchestra featuring Adam Rogers. As a jazz musician\, Russ is a stylist on the trumpet\, honing his individual voice on the instrument for over 20 years. He is inventive and exciting improvisor and composer\, with roots in the Black Music tradition. As an educator\, Russ has taught at the University of Miami Frost School of Music where he was a Teaching Assistant. He also taught with Young Musicians Unite\, a Miami-based non-profit providing musical instruction in inner-city schools. In addition\, Russ has taught at summer camps\, given masterclasses\, and taught privately in Canada\, the USA\, and Mexico. Russ is a sessional lecturer at the University of Windsor.
