Acclaimed cabaret performer Eddie Bruce will bring his signature style and powerhouse vocals to the Jersey Shore for a rare Atlantic City appearance on Sunday, Aug. 31. The show, Eddie Bruce and The Swinging Big Band: From Broadway to Bennett, will be held at the Celebrity Theater inside the Claridge Hotel. Show time is 3 p.m., and tickets are available at claridge.com or tinyurl.com/4te8w74w.
The performance will feature Bruce alongside the Ed Vezhino/Jim Ward Big Band, widely regarded as one of the most dynamic and versatile ensembles in the region. Together, they’ll present an electrifying, finger-snapping show that journeys through the Great American Songbook, Broadway hits, and timeless tunes made famous by Tony Bennett.
The concert also serves as a preview of Bruce’s upcoming CD release and his upcoming guest performance with the reimagined Philly Pops, set to take place at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center on Oct. 25.
With a career spanning television, radio, and live performance, Eddie Bruce is no stranger to the spotlight. He hosted the original “Dancin’ On Air” TV series, performed the national anthem at Phillies games, and produced a sold-out tribute to Philadelphia’s iconic Latin Casino nightclub — an event that garnered widespread acclaim and media attention.
Bruce’s performances are known for their warmth, energy, and musical precision. Whether interpreting Broadway ballads or big-band swing standards, he brings charisma and authenticity to every note.
Eddie Bruce and The Swinging Big Band: From Broadway to Bennett promises to be one of the most memorable events of the summer concert season in Atlantic City. Fans of jazz, cabaret, and classic American music won’t want to miss it.
