Award-winning, renowned tribute artist Michael Ross Nugent comes to Sedona with his acclaimed live concert “A Tribute to Michael Bublé and The Great American Songbook”. There will be two performances Jan. 17 and 18 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival.

Attention fans of singers and swing, baby boomers, young people with old souls and Michael Bublé fans! It's an evening of sophistication and class with Michael Ross Nugent and his tribute to the music of The Great American Songbook and Michael Bublé.

Rather than impersonate Bublé, Nugent pays homage to the legendary icon as himself, performing each tune with a heartfelt passion that only comes from truly loving the music. He also injects personal stories from his own past weaving in the influence that Bublé had on his decision to become a singer and ultimately his permanent move to Las Vegas to pursue his musical dreams.

Five years ago, when Michael Ross Nugent moved from Buffalo NY to Las Vegas, this young talent got booked by almost every casino in Vegas for their VIP and black-tie events, wine tastings and fundraisers. Michael's smooth and amazing voice gave them the evening of "class" they were looking for.

During Michael's 90-minute show you'll hear all of Michael Bublé's hits like “Cry Me a River”, “Feeling Good”, “It Had Better Be Tonight” and his original hits, “Everything”, “Home” and “Haven't Met You Yet”. Plus, other hits that Bublé recorded by other artists like James Taylor's "How Sweet It Is, Peggy Lee's "Fever" Sinatra's "World on A String" and Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones."
