What We Do
Tucson audiences clearly enjoy Darwin’s rich baritone voice and his warm personal magnetism whether on stage, at a dinner house, at a dance or a private party. Together, we share an eclectic mix of both mellow and upbeat music from the 1930's-1960's, including Jazz, Pop, Blues, R&B, Show Tunes, using backing tracks. We design a unique, custom show for your specific occasion.
