WEST PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNING VOCALIST DAWN DEROW RETURNS TO CAFÉ CENTRO WITH CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED EYDIE GORME TRIBUTE SHOW

MARCH 25, 2025 at 7 PM

There is a pantheon of great American women vocalists of the 20th century that we know by simply saying their first name—Judy, Ella, Aretha, Barbra, Billie, Peggy, Patsy, Liza, Whitney, Celine. Another name belongs on that list, but it is often forgotten: EYDIE . . . as in GORMÉ.

In Dawn Derow’s loving tribute to one of America’s most admired yet underrated women singers from the 1950s-1970s, this multiple award-winning vocalist breathes new life into songs—“If He Walked Into My Life,” “Sabor a Mi,” ”Day by Day”, and “This Could Be the Start of Something Big,” among others—that the legendary Eydie Gormé turned into standards.

Now, after performing this show to packed houses at New York’s 54 Below and Birdland, the Cotuit Center for the Arts in Cape Cod, MA, and other venues, Dawn Derow Sings Eydie Gormé comes to Café Centro, West Palm Beach’s hottest dinner-theater and cabaret venue (2409 N Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33407) on Tuesday, March 25 at 7 pm (doors open at 6 pm). Featuring Derow’s Music Director Ian Herman on piano, Brad Miller on bass, and Howie Gordon on drums. Special Guest of the night, adding a bit of “Steve Lawrence” is multi-award winning performer and recording artist Jeff Harnar, who also directed this show.

Tickets for Dawn Derow Sings Eydie Gormé are $150 which includes a three-course meal (alcohol not included) with the show. Bar seats are $100. www.cafecentrowpb.com

“Eydie Gormé is clearly one of the best vocalists of all time,” Derow observes. “She displayed an ability to effortlessly cross genres; including pop, jazz, and traditional Latin music. This versatility broadened her appeal, but also allowed her to reach diverse audiences. In this tribute show, I’m not trying to impersonate Eydie or sound like her. My goal is to shine my light on her story and career so that today’s audiences will embrace Eydie and love her as much as I do.”

Derow launched her Eydie Gormé tribute show in 2021 with renowned music director Ian Herman and director Jeff Harnar, and together they crafted a stunning, vibrant performance.

Critics in the cabaret press were unanimous in their praise for Dawn Derow Sings Eydie Gormé.

“Derow has put together a wonderful, enjoyable show . . . Working carefully to choose just the right songs to reflect Gorme's hits and Derow's preferences, the setlist offers a solid balance of styles, genres, tempos, and moods . . ." –BroadwayWorld.com

“I can't think of a more ideal vocalist to express the songbook of the legendary Eydie Gormé than this dynamic cabaret and concert performer." –Stephen Hanks, Award-Winning Reviewer and Cabaret Show Producer

“[In this Eydie Gorme tribute show] Dawn Derow sizzles and she certainly knows how. She’s having a great time and it’s infectious." –WomanAroundTown.com
