BRUCE GOLD

Thu., Dec. 18.  BRUCE GOLD, in “A Little Touch of Holiday Magic & So Much More.”  Paying homage to some of the best songwriters of all time, Mr. Gold makes his Gardenia return with a program chosen from “The Great American Songbook” and from Broadway, which also includes “some fun Holiday songs.”    Selected at age 9 to be the youngest Junior Canor at his Temple, Mr. Gold went on to play Don Quixote in Man of la Mancha and to appear in productions of Bye, Bye, Birdie. His show is supported by the John Rodby Trio (John Rodby worked “for years” with Dinah Shore and with Al Martino,) featuring bassist Jeff Littleton (who played with Herbie Hancock, Nany Wilson, and Joe Williams) and drummer Don Wilson.
