Tony Bennett is 90 and still kicking. And because of his consistent touring, he’s played the Tampa Bay area at least 9 times in the last 16 years.
After all, he is 90 years old, so many people who go to see him will more times than not think that it’s their last chance to do so. But they’re wrong every time. Tony completely defies his age: He still has his voice and energy, he’s formed a friendship with Lady Gaga, and he even jogs onstage sometimes.
But let’s get to the point here, okay?
Tony Bennett will play the Van Wezel Performing Arts Centre in Sarasota for the first time on Friday, September 8. This will be his second time in Florida this year, having also played the Mahaffey Theater in St. Pete in early March.
Tickets are now on sale at vanwezel.org, ranging from $57.00 – $147.00.
If you love him and have never seen him, buy those tickets as if it actually is your last chance to see Tony. Just keep in mind that while he may have left his heart in San Francisco, he’ll be back sometime next year.
