Lakewood Public Library Presents Scott Brotherton Performing "From Dino to Diamond"

If you remember the famed “Rat Pack” and the music of Dean, Frank, and Sammy, then this program is a must-see for you. Join us on Sunday, July 25, at 2 p.m. as the one-man Rat Pack, Scott Brotherton, presents an hour of songs from the Vegas strip. Scott’s impeccable renditions will take you through the decades as he presents vocal selections ranging from Dean Martin’s glory days, through the 50’s with the voices of Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, and Bobby Darin, and on into the 60’s 70’s and 80’s in the styles of Johnny Mathis, Engelbert, James Taylor, and others. Scott will also display his versatility with a dash of Country as he sings songs from Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, and Johnny Cash. Of course, the concert would not be complete without including the legendary Neil Diamond.

Scott has been a performing singer and actor since the age of 11. He has been seen in more than fifty shows, including: South Pacific, The Music Man, Pippin, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and The Pirates of Penzance, for which he won the Los Angeles Dramalogue Award for Best Performance in a Musical. Scott was a founding member of the four-man a cappella group, “The Hollywood Wowcats,” who performed throughout Los Angeles and won “best vocal group” on Natalie Cole’s TV show, “Big Break.” He regularly does singing and voiceover work and commercials as well.

Although Scott maintains a home base here in a west side suburb of Cleveland, he goes where the performances take him. Scott has worked in Las Vegas, on Wayne Newton’s show, “The Entertainer,” and has played at the Imperial Palace in the Kabuki Lounge. During his time at the Imperial, Scott also portrayed Neil Diamond with the popular “Legends Dealertainers,” where celebrity look-a-likes take to the tables and deal for the customers while in character. In Los Angeles, Scott has performed at many well known venues, including: The House of Blues, The Roxy Theater, B.B. King’s at Universal City Walk, and The Palladium.

With his seamless blend of the old and new, and vocal styles that run the gamut of the entertainment world, Scott Brotherton is an act for any music lover to enjoy. Sunday, July 25, will be swinging at the Library, so make plans to take in this musical hit parade. This free event is generously funded by Cuyahoga residents through Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and the Friends of the Lakewood Public Library.
