Description
Doug Acosta & The Mike Berkowitz Orchestra join forces in a swinging salute to the chartbusters of Your Hit Parade.
Described by Sir Terry Wogan/BBC as "A sophisticated talent. . . [the] rarest of bonafide crooners," the award-winning voice of New York City's Doug Acosta has been swaying audiences across the globe. Drawn to the Great American Songbook and artists of its time, Doug simultaneously imparts exuberance and refrain to his delivery, always shining new light on familiar standards.
Michael Berkowitz is considered a 'Drummer Conductor Extaordinaire' by industry contemporaries. He's performed as a drummer for Henry Mancini, Billy Joel, Gloria Estefan, Sting, Elton John and Bette Midler; conducted for Marvin Hamlisch, Sarah Brightman, the Boston Pops and London Symphony Orchestra among many others; his TV appearances include The Academy Awards, The Tonight Show, Great Performances and Live From Lincoln Center. Currently Mike can be seen performing as Liza Minnelli's drummer and musical director in her world tour.
