Rob Kevlin Appears in IT'S A NEW DAY At Feinstein's/54 Below

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Rob Kevlin in "It's A New Day" on Friday, February 22nd at 9:30pm. A beloved, award winning veteran of the NYC music scene, Rob Kevlin has wowed audiences everywhere from Swing 46, the Metropolitan Room, the Master Theatre, and Carnegie Hall.

He titled the show "It's A New Day" after his critically acclaimed debut album, which showcases his soulful, emotionally powerful tone and breathtaking vocals on a set filled with new songs by renowned songwriters and fresh, hipster arrangements of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Feeling Good."

The performance, which will be the centerpiece of the official CD release party, will include popular audience favorites from the album ("Shined On Me," "Just Because You Walk Away," "Mesmerized" and the title track), in addition to Great American Songbook standards ("Fly Me To the Moon," "Georgia on My Mind"), the inspirational "This Is The Moment" (from the Broadway musical "Jekyll & Hyde") and "This is Me," the Oscar nominated anthem from "The Greatest Showman."

"The opportunity to perform at Feinstein's/54 Below is very exciting to me," says Kevlin. "It's a prestigious venue where many Broadway stars have performed, and it's a true honor to have the opportunity to be on that stage. More recently in my career, I played concerts with vocalist Kathy Jenkins and the Rob Stoneback Big Band, which has backed greats like Aretha Franklin and Johnny Mathis - but this will be a much more intimate solo concert, with just a drummer, a bassist, pianist and globally renowned saxophonist Yaacov Mayman."

Kate Merlino, Former Senior Publicity Manager at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, captures Kevlin's essence best when she says, "He has the voice, looks and stage presence, but what makes him special is how he connects with an audience. It's a warmth that can't be taught, and it is what makes Kevlin stand out from the crowd."

In addition to the top line previously mentioned venues, the Brooklyn born, New Jersey raised singer has brought those magical qualities to Iguana and Davidzon Radio and is an International Trophy Winner of the USA World Showcase. He has graced the concert stage numerous times with virtuoso pianist Leonid Ptashka and renowned violinist, Sanya Kroitor. Kevlin was also honored to perform with Russian legend, Aida Vedisheva, for her Hurricane Sandy Fundraising Gala, "Come On, Support, New York, New York," from the Writers Guild Theatre in California hosted by Rachel Reenstra from ABC television. He was presented with the Singing Liberty Award for his dedication and generous support of the victims of the Superstorm SANDY on its first anniversary. In addition, he has performed as a vocalist with Igor Butman's big band and performed with the Rob Stoneback Big Band in a show called "Swing Out America!" as part of the HOT SUMMER NIGHTS free outdoor concert series at the Brooklyn based Stage at Kingsborough
