Ron Gartner performs “Splish Splash: The Music of Bobby Darin” April 4 at the Genesee Theatre.
Singer Ron Gartner performs his tribute to singer Bobby Darin with a full band April 4 at the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan.
Waukegan audiences will have that chance when entertainer Ron Gartner performs “Splish Splash: The Music of Bobby Darin” at 7:30 p.m. April 4 at the Genesee Theatre. Gartner grew up in Los Angeles, a fan of Chicago rhythm and blues and Motown. He started singing by accident, when one of his teachers at Hebrew school heard him sing and asked him to sing with a synagogue choir for the high holidays. That lasted for four years – until his voice changed, he said laughing.
When he was asked by a casino’s talent buyer if he could do an entire show of Bobby Darin songs, he immediately said yes.He has since added another 12 songs along with a seven-piece band and multimedia.
