The Valley Swing Shift offers three distinct shows... The Hollywood Canteen
2
and 1/2 hours with intermission.
This show takes place on a summer evening during WWII in the
Hollywood Canteen. The band is in WWII army uniforms and is
surrounded with military personnel anxious to be entertained by dancing with
volunteer girls and anxious to see and meet famous film, radio, and stage stars
that are also volunteers. As the evening unfolds, the audience gets to see
and hear some of the greats of that era, such as The
Andrews Sisters,
Abbott and Costello, Spike Jones and the City Slickers, and a surprise
guest or two. There is also a segment that honors veterans. This show has been performed
many places: from the stage at the Bushnell Auditorium
(Hartford, CT) to a stage on the back of a truck at Westover Air Base.

An
Evening with Frank Sinatra
1
hour 45 minutes Vocalist Patrick Tobin has captured
vintage Frank
Sinatra. Not only has he recreated the wonderful Sinatra song
styling, but he has the Sinatra patter and audience rapport down pat. This show
was first played October 2, 2003, before an audience of more than 7000 at the
Fryeburg Fair in Maine and most recently at the Hu-Ke-Lau Restaurant and Supper Club in
Chicopee, MA.
