“Upbeat, polished, dazzling, smooth… you would be hard pressed to find anything better than this in New Zealand” Christchurch Press 2007

NEW ZEALAND’S answer to Frank Sinatra, Tim Beveridge joins rising star Elizabeth Marvelly and the fabulous Neophonic Jazz Trio to present a very special entertainment series throughout the North Island in September.

Tim - the youngest performer ever to play the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera - is rapidly carving out his own unique style himself as NZ’s leading singer of the American song book in the tradition of Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. Together with the brilliant cast he has assembled, this tour is not to be missed.

The special 90-minute concerts, supported by Mazda, will include American song book classics/favourites such as Mack the Knife, Come Fly with Me, New York New York, The Girl From Ipanema, Come Rain Come Shine, It Had to Be You and I’ve Got you Under My Skin.

“This is a chance to hear some brilliant and beautiful music, in the company of NZ’s premiere jazz musicians.”

Tim has carved out his own unique style as NZ’s leading singer of the American song book in the tradition of Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.

“… If, as William Shakespeare says, music is the food of love then Tim Beveridge… definitely qualified as a deep-dish apple pie - sometimes spicy, often comfortingly familiar, always satisfying.”

Tim Beveridge is both producer and performer in this fabulous presentation.

Tim, whose name has become synonymous with swing in New Zealand since he abandoned a life as a lawyer over a decade ago to pursue his dream of being a professional musician.

Not only is he living his dream, he’s doing very well at it by creating and producing his own shows – an area very few performers dare to venture.

Most recently he has had commercial success with his concert productions featuring the newly-created Neophonic Jazz Orchestra. He has formed a strong alliance with music legend Russ Garcia who has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood showbiz (Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, et al) and together they’re making great music.

These include His first CD, “Singer” with the NZSO, which went “gold” within 4 weeks of release - and “Come Rain Come Shine” – recorded in Hollywood with the Buddy Childer’s Big Band. It’s been endorsed far and wide, by such luminaries as Burt-Bacharach-lyricist Hal David who said “Tim Beveridge sings up a storm – listen to Come Rain Come Shine and you’ll agree”

Most recently Tim has completed production on his first live album - recorded in concert at the Auckland town Hall with Garcia and the Auckland Neophonic Jazz Orchestra

Tim has performed in productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Phantom of the Opera and Sunset Boulevard that toured New Zealand and Australia. But since 1996 Beveridge has left music theatre behind to concentrate on concert performances. He has appeared in concert with Dame Malvina Major, Hayley Westenra, with the Christchurch and New Zealand Symphony Orchestras, the Auckland Philharmonia and in many outdoor spectaculars.

In addition he has performed the national anthem for the All Blacks on 6 occasions – for 6 wins…

“In terms of sheer relaxed vocal finesse New Zealander Tim Beveridge was peerless.” — David Benedict “The Singer” (UK)

ELIZABETH MARVELLY – RISING STAR
Beautiful young singer Elizabeth Marvelly has the style and grace of a performer many years her senior.

The talented singer has been hand-picked and moulded by some of the best in New Zealand showbiz, including celebrated opera star Dame Malvina Major and veteran entertainer Sir Howard Morrison.

Last year she had her debut in the record-breaking Knight with a Dame tour … much to the delight of audiences throughout the country.

“Elizabeth is one of those great discoveries,” says Gray Bartlett MBE, a master of showbiz, touring and star management. “She’s destined for very big things. She’s such a natural performer and she works like a Trojan. Not only does she have a wonderful voice, she has a personality and brains to go with it. She’s the complete package.”
