John Alcorn: A Cole Porter Songbook

John Alcorn brings his iconic Cole Porter Songbook to the Sergeants Mess Hall at Base31 – a celebration and exploration of the words and music of a 20th century legend. Canadian jazz lions Reg Schwager (guitar) and Neil Swainson (bass) will share the stage with John for this incredibly special evening. Cole Porter was an American composer and songwriter, noted for his sophisticated, suggestive lyrics, clever rhymes, and complex forms. Unlike most successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote both the lyrics and the music for his songs. Alcorn will share both top hits and some more obscure gems from Porter’s staggering catalogue of songs, a Jazz or Cabaret artist’s dream list.
