SEE EVENT DETAILS
Illuminate Live, San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department in association with Value Culture present the Summer of Luv, an afternoon concert celebrating San Francisco's #1 most infamous lounge singer with his all star big band. Ladies and gentleman, The Fabulous Bud E. Luv.
Music from 12pm-3pm, Free, All Ages.
The Fabulous Bud E. Luv Big Band Show
He's Bud E. Luv and he's a show-business legend, at least in his own mind. To hear Luv tell it - and he makes a career out of telling it, both on stage with "The Fabulous Bud E. Luv Show" and in a new biography, "You Oughta Be Me" - he's responsible for the careers of every Las Vegas superstar you can name.
He claims to be the man who convinced Tom Jones to change his last name from Smith, who wrote "Danke Schoen" for Wayne Newton, "Strangers in the Night" for Sinatra, "YMCA" for the Village People and "Mr. Bojangles" for Sammy Davis Jr. Actually, he boasts he's written all songs ever recorded - and almost all of them are in his act.
Saturday June 24th, Luv brings his act - complete with pompadour, amazing jackets and stage patter usually reserved for the La Bomba Room or the "Today" show - to the ultra and swinging Golden Gate Park Music Concourse aka Bandshell.
Presented by:
Illuminate the Arts rallies large groups of people together to create impossible works of public art that, through awe, free humanity's better nature.
