display in showcases on the ground floor of the Central Bank’s main
building.
Respect Your Elders
Tony Bennett
Harpa (Eldborg Hall)
August 8 – 20:00
8,990 to 16,990 ISK
If anything, Tony Bennett commands respect. Still crooning jazz and show tunes
that remind audiences of a time before electro beats and mind-numbing choruses,
the 85-year-old’s career has spanned a half-century. Yes, Tony has been around
awhile, and now he’s even trekking to Iceland. If he paid attention to North Atlantic
politics as a youngster, he’d remember that Iceland was still a part of Denmark until
he was 18 years old. He’s that old.
A New York native who left his heart in San Francisco, Tony is still packing
houses and churning out tunes. He essentially carries the weight of American
music on his back, defining a tradition of melodies that dates back to Frank Sinatra
and Duke Ellington. And he’s found a way to reach younger audiences, taking
on cameos in “The Simpsons” and the Brendan Fraser movie “The Scout.” In the
‘90s, he appeared multiple times on MTV Unplugged. Yes, the man has remained
relevant.
For this piece of Americana in downtown Reykjavík, the price is steep, with the
best seats going for nearly 17,000 ISK. But audience members will be in for a treat,
since Tony typically stays on stage for hours. On this tour, he’s brought along his
daughter along for the ride. Antonia Bennett, a classically trained pop vocalist, will
open for her father. CW
