Crooner Scott Hetz Clark delivers your favorite American Jazz Standards. The Rat Pack put Las Vegas on the map in the early 1960s. Enjoy a variety of the best of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and more!
Scott Hetz Clark is a baritone from Leesburg, Virginia, who specializes in many different genres of music. A graduate of the James Madison University School of Music, he has performed with opera companies on some of the largest stages in both the US and Europe, and he regularly performs jazz music at venues across the DMV area. Regarded for his “youthful and powerful bass voice,” Scott’s jazz stylings have been compared to those of Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr., and Frank Sinatra.
