Re-live the romance and nostalgia from the “Golden Age” of recording! Hudson Shad showcases major hits from many great stars of the "crooner" era, such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong - and always in a style uniquely their own. Hudson Shad is more than a vocal quintet with virtuosic, sophisticated and ingenious piano accompaniments, as audiences worldwide have invariably been moved to sing along with these highly entertaining performers.
Christmas Dinner for One
“The same procedure as every year?” Yes….and with a twist! Hudson Shad’s wonderful version of Miss Sophie’s 90th birthday party is full of surprises and a “must-see”. Traditional Christmas songs are also featured, and a choreographed setting of Spike Jones’ comical arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker rounds out the show.
Cowboys of the Opera
What happens when Choirboys grow up to be Cowboys? Join Hudson Shad and find out as they ride a western serenade across the wild west of Hollywood, Radio and Television. The five outstanding singers “brand” cowboy songs with characteristic irony, melting sweetness and heartfelt longing.
Comedian Harmonists
The Comedian Harmonist’s legacy of exquisite sound comes down to us today only through recordings. But Hudson Shad brings them back to life in their fond tribute to this “Godfather of Guy Groups” in an evening of evergreen classics, perfect renderings of the original 1920's arrangements, and their usual feather-light comedy.
The New York Times wrote about the show: “The group’s perfect pitch, finely shaded dynamics, skill at recreating the sounds of the 20’s and overall airiness of tone combined to offer clear evidence of what the fuss was about."
