Song-stylist, Porter Carroll, Jr. and his four-piece band of A-List musicians “just may be” re-inventing the wheel in the nightclub space.

From the downbeat of his show, the seasoned showman dazzles with a repertoire made up of popular compositions from the second half of the 20th century.

At any given time during the course of the set, his re-imagined arrangements will have you guessing but not for long! It always results in cool resolution.

Cutting edge and traditional audiences will recognize the lion’s share of the melodies he’s curated for the evening, while being introduced to original compositions from his own catalog. The Evolution of Cabaret is a skillful, soaring 90-minute thrill ride through an accomplished and sometimes humorous life in music.
