PROFILE

“Frank . . . A Musical Journey” reflects upon key points in the singer’s life, and the songs that defined those times for him. Frank lived a life that by any measure was a fascinating one. He enjoyed wild successes, endured heartbreaking failures, and lived legendary romances. Rick Michel conveys the richness of Frank’s life by performing the signature songs of the times, which were written by some of the finest composers and lyricists of the 20th Century. Woven together by a poignant narrative, the performance paints a portrait of Frank that provides audiences an intimate glimpse of the life he lived . . . his way.

ABOUT THE MUSICIt’s full of wonderfully crafted storytelling, for one thing. When the likes of Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer combined creative forces in composing “One for My Baby,” they produced one of the best “saloon songs” of all time. Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn collaborated on the delightful “Come Fly with Me,” and millions since have imagined themselves jetting off to exotic locales. Frank Loesser gave us the gamblers’ tongue-in-cheek anthem “Luck Be a Lady.” A veritable treasure trove of songs came from Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, and Rodgers with Lorenz Hart, “It Might as Well be Spring” and “My Heart Stood Still,” respectively. Dorothy Fields penned the evocative “The Way You Look Tonight.” Irving Berlin wrote “White Christmas,” “God Bless America,” and gave us so much more. There were so many terrific collaborations and songs that came out of mid-20th-century America that it is impossible to list all of them.

A versatile entertainer with a genuine passion for The Great American Songbook, Rick Michel has been performing professionally in a variety of different mediums since the late 1970s.

Michel moved to San Diego from New York in 1977. While working at The Comedy Store doing open-mic nights in both La Jolla and West Hollywood, CA, he landed a role in a production of Grease at the Lyric Dinner Theater in nearby La Mesa. During that time, he began developing his first one-man-show, which he performed in Southern California for the next two years. It was a pivotal time in his life, one that would set the stage for a multi-faceted, successful career spanning several decades.

Traveling and performing throughout the country for the next few years, Michel expanded his repertoire and changed his residence. First performing in Las Vegas in 1981, he continued performing in a variety of different shows as an impressionist, singer, comic and voice-actor. He had perfected dead-on portrayals of cartoon characters, politicians and singers, and displayed a real genius for dialects. By 1990, Michel was discovered by master impressionist Rich Little, with whom he toured for two years.

In 1999, actor and producer David Cassidy, then putting together a Rat Pack tribute show, saw Michel performing as Frank Sinatra for the Nevada Governor’s Ball. Cassidy invited him to understudy the Sinatra role. Michel did that, and also filled in for the actors portraying Dean Martin and Joey Bishop. The show moved to the Sahara in 2000, and Michel performed the Dean Martin role until that production’s run ended in 2002.

Michel has produced, developed and performs in his own shows; “Sinatra Forever,” “Drinkin’—Singin’—Swingin’ Salute to Frank Sinatra-Sammy Davis Jr.-Dean Martin,” “Drinkin’—Singin’—Swingin’ Christmas Show,” “Frank & Dean—Together Again,” the “Rick Michel Variety Show,” and now, “Frank . . . A Musical Journey.”

From entertaining the troops overseas to touring nationally and internationally, Michel continues to create, produce and perform, and it always comes straight from the heart. For this multi-talented entertainer, “the music never ends.”

PROGRAMBetween the mid 1930s and the late 1960s, Hollywood, Broadway and developing record labels and recording studios made music more accessible than ever before. The demand quickly grew with singers including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat “King” Cole, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby and Tony Bennett recording hit after hit. The songs spoke to the heart of a nation longing for more than simply entertainment—but for something truly meaningful. What was produced back then still stands the test of time today, as is well illustrated by the number of successful contemporary singers who have embraced the genre.

A diverse collection of artists, ranging from Barbra Streisand to Pat Benatar (and several other notable entertainers including Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson and Sting) departed from their own unique styles and devoted entire albums to The Great American Songbook. Linda Ronstadt and Rod Stewart concentrated on these pop standards, with Ronstadt releasing three album collections of the songs, and Stewart producing four. Other popular singers have devoted their entire careers to interpreting the genre, most notably Michael Feinstein, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall and Michael Bublé.

Some have referred to The Great American Songbook as “America’s classical music.” As with classical masterpieces, these wonderful songs fulfill the destiny of all great music, and will continue to evoke profound emotional response for years to come.

Ciarán Kelly is a graduate of the Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM), Dublin. He made his opera debut at the RIAM in January 2007, singing Don Curzio in a production of Le Nozze Di Figaro, and subsequently sang with the Downpatrick

Opera Fringe Festival, Opera Theatre Company and Lyric Opera.

Touring activities have included the Celtic Woman 2012 U.S. tour and various international tours with Anúna. In 2014 Kelly founded the A Capella Irish group Ardú, which specializes in traditional Irish and popular song. Kelly is a member of the renowned chamber choir Resurgam.

In 2010, Kelly sang as a soloist in the historic performance of Handel’s Messiah, a joint performance between St. Patrick’s and Christ Church Cathedrals in Dublin. In 2012 he performed the lead role in Nicolini’s Le Due Gemelle in Piacenza, Italy, with singers from Italy, Japan, Korea and Armenia.

Kelly performed the lead role in a specially commissioned short opera in Derry for the arrival of the Olympic Torch, Number Seven, composed by Seán Doherty.

Most recently, he undertook the narrator role in Monteverdi’s Il Combattimenti Di Tancredi e Clorinda and in 2013 completed a National Tour with Opera Theatre Company’s production of Carmen performing the role of Remendado. Future roles include Endymione in a joint performance of Rossi’s Orfeo with Resurgam and Atalante directed by award-winning early music specialist Erin Headley.

A Graduate of University College Cork, Alan Leech was appointed as tenor to the Irish National Chamber Choir in 2002. With them Leech has toured extensively both nationally and internationally and worked with some of

the world’s leading choral conductors such as Paul Hillier, Celso Antunes, Stephen Layton and Stephen Cleobury.

Career highlights to date in this role include performing for U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House, David Lang’s Little Match Girl Passion, and Gerald Barry’s Long Time and Schott & Sons, Mainz. International touring has included Russia, Brazil, China and Lebanon, and several European tours.

As well as chamber music choirs, Leech has also performed with most of Ireland’s leading orchestras and choruses in oratorio and concert performances. Monteverdi’s Vespers, Mozart’s Mass in C, Haydn’s Nelson Mass & Heiligemess, Barber’s Songs of Kierkegaard, and Tippet’s A Child of our Time. He has also performed with Opera Cork, Opera South, Anna Livia Opera and Opera Ireland, including many roles such as Acis in Handel’s Acis & Galatea, Tamino in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Goro in Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, and El Remondado in Bizet’s Carmen.

He has worked as a vocal consultant for the Association of Irish Choirs on their annual Conductors Summer School. Since 2007 the AOIC have invited him to work as tenor coach with the Irish Youth Choir, and recently as a vocal coach with the exciting new Irish Youth Chamber Choir. In 2012 Leech was invited to join the teaching staff of the Ulster Youth Choir.

Combining singing, pedagogy and conducting skills has led to many invitations to work with a varying range of choirs and ensembles nationwide: the Mornington Singers (Dublin), Culwick Choral Society, Limerick Choral Union (Limerick), Anima Chamber Choir (Dublin), Tribal Chamber Choir (Galway), Cois Cladaigh (Galway), Aspiro (Carlow), Cork Chamber Choir, Pfizerphonics (Cork) and Tredagh Singers (in his native Drogheda).

Irish Tenor George Hutton, well known for his performances of rousing Irish traditional melodies, has toured Canada, Belgium and Holland with the renowned Choral ensemble Anúna, and is scheduled to tour with them on

an upcoming tour of Japan.

In addition to the “Irish” vocal repertoire, Hutton has performed at the Royal Albert Hall, London, as part of the BBC Proms with the BBC Youth Chorus, and in Mozart’s Mass at the National Concert Hall, Dublin. His variety of performances exemplifies an emerging style connecting classical and Irish traditional vocal music.

It is through Irish traditional vocal music that Hutton shines, having absorbed the melodies of Luke Kelly, The Dubliners and The Irish Tenors from which he finds inspiration.

The raw emotion and passion he has for Irish traditional music can be found in pieces such as “Raglan Road” and “The Auld Triangle.”

Danny Forde is a composer, songwriter, music director and multi-instrumentalist from Dublin, Ireland. He studied piano and composition at Berklee College of Music on a Fulbright scholarship and holds a master’s degree from Trinity

College Dublin. He trained in piano at DIT Conservatory of Music, Dublin.

Karmacloud have toured in Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and the UK. He has also performed extensively across Ireland and abroad with various music groups including I Have a Tribe, Slow Skies, Ebo, Jazzberries, Loah, Discovery Gospel Choir, Kila, Judith Mok, and Giraffes. His music has been aired and performed live on Irish TV and radio.

Forde composes songs and music for the visual media, and is regularly commissioned for theatre and contemporary dance. His professional theater work includes composition for Unspoken (Project Arts, Centre, Dublin), MONSTER/CLOCK (Smock Alley Theatre) and The Aeneid (Project Arts Centre) by Collapsing Horse Theatre, Near Death: A Grim Reaper Musical (Greene Theatre, Boston—winner Berklee College Musical Songwriting competition); Music direction for The Last 5 Years (Project Arts Centre) by Trees Rd, Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins (Project Arts Centre) by Rough Magic SEEDS, How To Keep An Alien (Project Arts Centre—best production Dublin Fringe Festival 2014), and The Rise And Fall of the City of Mahagonny (Olympia Theatre) by Rough Magic.
