Knut Eide tells the story of The Rat Pack through music, images and stories. The concert takes audiences back to Las Vegas in the 1950s and 1960s, when Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. were central figures in the group’s stage shows.
The Rat Pack is associated with a combination of singing, humour and improvisation, as well as performances at venues such as the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. The repertoire includes well known songs such as You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You, Mr. Bojangles and Fly Me to the Moon.
Knut Eide performs alongside vocalists Cecilie Bjørklund and Therese Kjeldås. The music is performed by Opus One Big Band, a big band with roots in Andebu. Founded in 1990, the band consists of 15 instrumentalists and two vocalists.
Knut Eide is known as a vocalist with bands including Tiger City Jukes, Blues Explotion and the reggae group Buffalo Soldiers, as well as for his work as a big band singer. He has toured in the Nordic countries and Europe and has also performed in the United States.
Cecilie Bjørklund and Therese Kjeldås have been regular vocalists with Opus One Big Band for several years.
The evening combines big band music, vocals and stories from an important period in American entertainment history.
