Noce is proud to present a show featuring Max Wellman alongside the an eight piece band, celebrating the life & music of Francis Albert Sinatra. Initially developed in 2015 following Sinatra's centennial birthday, the show has been a consistent favorite at Noce, covering some of Sinatra's early hits from Dorsey days such as All Or Nothing At All, or All Of Me, all the way through the famous concept albums like Only the Lonely & In The Wee Small Hours.
New & Revamped for 2021, the beloved show is back to its extended run time & pulling new selections from Sinatra's extensive catalogue, arranged by pianist and composer Nate Sparks.
