Set List: Todd Murray in "CROON"

Last night, Todd Murray made his debut at The RRazz Room with a musical journey of CROON: how the invention of the microphone forever changed the connection between crooner and audience. Murray provided backstories for songs from 1920 to 1988. The top quality of the overall presentation is what you can expect from The RRazz Room, and I highly recommend tonight's final performance!

From swinging & crooning, to finger-snapping big band numbers, to gently caressing heartfelt ballads, Todd Murray's smooth baritone voice can woo & wow an audience, sending them away with a swing in their step. Murray is one of today's premier interpreters of the American popular songbook. He has performed to rave reviews at some of the most prestigious venues across the nation, including New York's Jazz At Lincoln Center, The Metropolitan Room, & Feinstein's at the Cinegrill and Loews Regency.
