Acclaimed vocalist and entertainer Brandon Tomasello will open the 2026 Ocean City Pops season with his highly anticipated “One-Man Rat Pack” concert on Sunday, June 28, at the historic Ocean City Music Pier. The Rat Pack will come to life musically on stage as local favorite Tomasello presents the timeless and unmistakable sounds of this remarkable musical era.
Celebrating the timeless music, charm and swagger of the legendary Rat Pack era, Tomasello will bring the unforgettable sounds of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. to life in a dynamic solo performance backed by the renowned Ocean City Pops. The evening will be an entertaining blend of classic hits, storytelling and vintage Vegas-style showmanship.
The concert officially launches the Ocean City Pops’ 2026 summer season, offering audiences a journey through the Great American Songbook. According to the Pops’ website, the performance will feature “class, comedy and flair” as Tomasello recreates the atmosphere of the Sinatra era with his signature vocal style and engaging stage presence.
A favorite among Jersey Shore and Philadelphia audiences, Tomasello is regarded for his interpretations of swingtime favorites and his ability to connect with audiences of all ages. For his “One Man Rat Pack” show, Tomasello will perform hits such as Sinatra’s “Fly Me To The Moon,” Martin’s “Everybody Loves Somebody” and Davis’ “The Candy Man,” among others.
In a rare treat for audiences, several of these Rat Pack hits will be performed in their original arrangements, providing ticketholders the unique opportunity to hear this music the way it was intended with a full orchestra.
Tomasello secured the arrangements himself for his standout tribute to these three iconic entertainers. Local musician and band leader Ed Vezinho, of Egg Harbor Township, also specially arranged some tunes for Tomasello’s performance.
“I am so excited to be back performing with Conductor Vince Lee and the Ocean City Pops–and even more ecstatic to help them kick off their summer season,” said Tomasello. “To perform and share these songs, most in their original arrangements, with this orchestra is something that I know audiences will cherish. And I can’t wait to debut Ed Vezinho’s arrangements which are sure to knock some socks off.”
The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, June 28, at the Ocean City Music Pier, 825 Boardwalk in Ocean City. Tickets are $27 and $32 at ShowPass.com. Tomasello’s new album “The Lost Sinatra-Basie” will be for sale at the show.
