The poetry of Moon River, That Old Black Magic and Autumn Leaves is the enduring mark of American master lyricist Johnny Mercer. Award-winning recording artist Lee Lessack presents a powerhouse evening celebrating the heartwarming music of Georgia’s favorite son. Lessack brings Mercer to life weaving heretofore unknown stories with such timeless tunes as Too Marvelous for Words, My Shining Hour, Come Rain or Come Shine and many more. Lee Lessack’s graceful lyric baritone vocals and sophisticated yet endearing persona have made him a shining star of the international concert scene. Billboard Magazine calls his singing, “Cabaret romanticism of a high order.” Lessack’s fifth acclaimed recorded release, “In Good Company,” features duets with music notables like Michael Feinstein, Maureen McGovern, Amanda McBroom, Ann Hampton Callaway and Stephen Schwartz, and has earned a MAC and Bistro Award for Best Recording of the Year.
