Seth Sikes will celebrate New Year’s Eve at Feinstein’s/54 Below on Tuesday, December 31 at 7:00PM in “Twenty ‘20s Songs for 2020,” an entirely brand new show that will celebrate songs made famous nearly a hundred years ago.

Sikes said, “So much of what is great about American music started in the 1920s. Under prohibition, the songs were naughty and a new sophistication was brewing. It’s no wonder that so much of this music is still roaring a hundred years later.”

Sikes has been performing at Feinstein’s/54 Below in a series of consistently sold-out appearances in his critically-acclaimed tributes to Judy Garland (which won a Broadway World Award), Liza Minnelli and Bernadette Peters.

The New York Times said of Sikes’s debut, “The performance — less an impression of Ms. Garland than an interpretation of her vibrato-heavy method of belting – was a hit.”

The critics were just as kind for his follow-up show Seth Sikes Sings Liza Minnelli and The New York Post said, “It was a heartfelt concert. Sikes has a heap of fans and his audiences are always tightly packed and brimming with enthusiasm for his booming, jazzy renditions of their favorite songs.”
