The Delish Band
A dynamic world beat musical group:
great vocals with a unique blend of jazz, salsa, and traditional standards like
you've never heard before !!
Enjoy our warmth, our personalities and watch how we get people dancing or give
them enjoyment just listening to us. We love life and music. Let us celebrate
both with you.
Delish Band Members:
Bob Falstein
Bob Falstein has been performing music from the 40's thru the 90's with beautiful vocal renditions of many favorites composed by artists like: Cole Porter, Barry Manilow,
George Gershwin, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Billy Joel, just to name a few.
And then there's the piano playing music from Phantom of the Opera, Cats and other musicals and movie themes and some good stride-style on the keys...All 88.
Every now and then you'll even hear Bach or Clementi or Mozart or Rachmaninoff.
You'll hear a little comedy and some storytelling and sometimes, even a sing-a-long.
That's certainly a recipe for having fun.
