About this Event

Acclaimed vocalist Robert Rodi returns to Davenport’s with another of his jazz-themed reinventions of an unlikely slice of canon (including My Fair Lady, Man and Jazz By Jazz By Sondheim). This time it’s the wild, weird, wonderful 1980s. Joined by incomparable pianist Dave Gordon and inimitable bassist Stacy McMichael, Robert swings hard through vintage hits by Blondie, Talking Heads, R.E.M., Bonnie Tyler, Sheila E., Bon Jovi, Madonna, Peter Gabriel, and more — with a few era-appropriate surprises. And along the way, there are Robert’s wry reflections on the decade; because baby, he was there, and he remembers … well, nearly everything.
