Patrick Barnitt adds a touch of classic Hollywood charm with his smooth baritone. An actor (“Se7en” and various “Star Trek” series) and an accomplished vocalist in the LA jazz scene, he is the quintessential contemporary crooner. A regular at legendary venues like The Dresden Room, Barnitt evokes the golden era of the Rat Pack. His ability to swing through jazz standards with effortless cool will provide a perfect stylistic counterpoint to the evening’s lineup.
