Bacharach is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential figures of20th-century popular music. Over 1,000 artists have recorded Bacharach songs such as Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, The Beatles, Sheryl Crow, The Pretenders, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Costello, Christopher Cross, The White Stripes, The Carpenters, Michael McDonald, Herb Alpert, Stevie Wonder, and, of course, Dionne Warwick.

Music director Rob Shirakbari started working with Bacharach and Warwick in his late teens and continues to this day as Ms. Warwick’s music director and arranger. Much of Bacharach’s touring show since the 1990s was arranged and orchestrated by Rob, as is Ms. Warwick’s current live show. Rob is the ideal musician and arranger to play and conduct the band.
Show producer Angelo Bundini is the creator and producer of the global hit Celebrating David Bowie concerts who have performed in premiere venues to devoted Bowie fans in 17 countries on 5 continents. Angelo’s new show, BEAT, is very quickly selling out shows throughout the US this Fall 2024 featuring former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin with superstar players Steve Vai and Danny Carey from Tool performing selections from the 1980s King Crimson albums.
