A popular touring performer, Deana Martin (daughter of the legendary Dean Martin) has spent the last decade celebrating her dad’s legacy while creating a formidable one of her own. After her previous re-imaginings of beloved classics, she shows a fresh side of her artistry on Swing Street, centering the 15-track set on five dynamic originals co-written by Emmy and Grammy winner Patrick Williams, with spirited arrangements by Chris Walden. While she also hits on Songbook classics like “Georgia On My Mind,” the set’s top highlight is her sly and sensual take on the Classics IV hit “Spooky.” Dino would be proud!
