LAVALLETTE – Transport yourself back in time with “The Music that Defined the Big Band Era” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 29 at the Upper Shores Branch of the Ocean County Library.

Listen to Ortley Beach’s own Tony Corrao as he brings the audience to an era of sophistication, swing, style, and Sinatra. Corrao blends classical appeal with modern flair, using his captivating voice and magnetic stage presence. He was selected by the Count Basie Theatre in 2012 as a cast member for the Sinatra Birthday Bash. In 2015, he won first place in the Sinatra Idol competition in Hoboken.
