'Jazz Cat' Eddie Wakes to Perform at Trattoria Farfalla

Critically acclaimed jazz/pop artist will perform four limited engagement shows Thursdays in August from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Encino Marketplace.

Performing a new style of jazz where the classics meet the rat pack, musical talent Eddie Wakes will deliver four performances on the Trattoria Farfalla patio at the Encino Marketplace Thursday evenings in August from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Wakes’ strong musical heritage has influenced his talent as a writer, composer and vocalist, which has allowed him to share the stage alongside music icons such as Diana Krall, Sarah McLachlan, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder and B.B. King.

In addition to sharing the spotlight with R&B, blues, jazz and pop legends, Wakes’ vocals and sharp stylistic skills allowed him success as a solo performer after finishing a tour with the Walt Disney production of “The Lion King.”  Described by Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman as “…a new evocative voice,” guests can enjoy a meal on the Trattoria Farfalla patio while watching Wakes’ four performances.
