OGDENSBURG -- Steve Lippia, one of the country’s most prominent vocalists and interpreters of classic pop music, appears with his show, “Simply Sinatra,” Tuesday, May 15 as Ogdensburg Command Performances closes out the 2011-12 season.

Curtain time is 7:45 p.m. in George Hall Auditorium at Ogdensburg Free Academy.

With a hot, driving 10-piece band behind him, Lippia moves from crisp, popping swing tunes to lush, poignant ballads. His repertoire includes such standards as “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “The Lady Is a Tramp,” “Mack the Knife,” “Just the Way You Are,” That’s Life,” and “The Best Is Yet to Come.”

His sound is reminiscent of a younger Frank Sinatra, combined perhaps, with that of Harry Connick, Jr. and Bobby Darin.

Throughout his career, Steve has headlined in highly successful, extended engagements in Las Vegas and Atlantic City as well as being featured with numerous pops symphonies in sell-out performances across the country. He also completed a highly successful 14-month engagement at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas where he starred in the long-running hit musical production show, “The Rat Pack Is Back!”

Tickets are $16 to $35 with discounts for senior citizens, students, groups of 15 or more, and “Friends.” For more information, call 393-2625, visit www.ogdensburgk12.org or email ocp@ogdensburgk12.org
