Mark Mahar & Boston Swings Sunday Summer Series

'RAT PACK' ERA\; AMERICAN SONGBOOK SOUNDS HIGHLIGHT MARK MAH
AR & BOSTON SWINGS SUNDAY SUMMER SERIES\; CHEERS\; FANEUIL HALL MARKETPLACE\; JULY 13-AUG. 17\; 2008

Boston, MA-Authentic presentations of live jazz, swing and 20th Century popular music, define the sounds of Mark Mahar & Boston Swings, the Rat Pack era and American songbook summer series, July 13-Aug. 17, Cheers' Sam's Cafe, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston.

"This kid sings so good, I want to punch him in the throat," quipped Big Band legend the late Buddy Greco.

Backed by the Boston Swing band, the Massachusetts-born Mahar, whose influences span the music of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Harry Connick, Jr., Glen Miller, Presley, Doo Wop and 50's rock 'n roll, gave up the construction industry for a full-time career in show business "mostly to improve chances of meeting Jennifer Love Hewitt," he admits.

His 2000 CD Blame It On My Youth, boasts 11 songs ranging from "One for My Baby and One More for the Road," to "Pennies From Heaven," "Send in the Clowns," "Autumn Leaves," and "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime." His 2007 CD Careless Moon, a musical dedication to "finding love, losing love, and finding it again," lists songs such as "Route 66," "Let's Kiss," "Got No Heart," and "Too Close for Comfort."
