Julian Fleisher is a true renaissance man — singer, bandleader, record producer, actor — as well as a veteran of many productions here at Franklin Stage. Now this “Manhattan nightclub supernova” (LA Times) returns to Chapel Hall with a set of songs and stories from the farthest reaches of the Great American Songbook. Backed by his barn-burning band, Julian will render a set of tunes featuring his trademark masterful reinterpretations of classics from Cole Porter to Prince and from the Beatles to Joni Mitchell. At once timeless and fresh, provocative and comforting, soaring and down-to-earth, a night of songs with Delaware County’s own Julian Fleisher is never to be missed.
