Fazio’s music is hip, elegant
and bold. He puts a wonderful
new spin on the songs you love.
Whether he’s singing a swing
standard, pop classic or love
ballad, his soulful yet classic
style comes shining through.
Sam’s style is reminiscent of
classic singers like Frank Sinatra
and Bobby Darin, yet current
like the sounds of Michael
Buble. The concert is free, but
we will take an offering to support
the Family Service Center,
a community mental health
agency. For more information,
