NEW YORK CITY — Lani Misalucha, known for her main showroom concerts on the Las Vegas Strip, will make her concert debut at The Town Hall in this city on Sunday, November 22, at 4 p.m., alongside her special guest, promising young tenor Jared Martin.
A naturally gifted vocalist, Misalucha is a seasoned recording artist who can scale five octaves and sing anything in any vocal style. Her Las Vegas concerts earned her the moniker “Siren of the Strip” and “Best Singer” (Staff Pick) award in Las Vegas Review Journal’s “27th Annual Best of Las Vegas” poll. Two city mayors declared two days “Lani Misalucha Days” on August 17 and December 4.

“Her voice is in the realm of Celine Dion [and] her rendition of Puccini’s Nessun Dorma was a daily showstopper,” notes Las Vegas Review Journal.
BroadwayWorld.com Music, says, “Lani can easily convey unbridled depth and lustrous contour with just a singular word or a placating, even plaintive, conversational humming of a simple chord progression,” referring to her latest studio album that recently turned gold, “The Nightingale Returns,” which she co-produced.
JB Entertainment Productions, in cooperation with TFC, presents “Lani Misalucha Live in Concert,” a vocal explosion of a wide range of music from Billboard hits to Whitney Houston to opera arias, at the Town Hall. Accompanied by a five-piece band and four soulful female backup vocalists, under the musical direction of Lorrie Ilustre, the full-length concert promises to showcase a mix of high and low octaves, intricate tempo variations, a few dance moves and a little comedy.
“This is the first time I am going to perform in a major concert in New York City, whose fast-paced energy is so inviting,” Misalucha says. “It is going to be a roller coaster type of a show.”

An innately funny lady, she adds, “You don’t really want to go a concert to listen to depressing songs, do you? You want to dance; you want to laugh; and you want to cry at the same time. We want you to enjoy yourself; we will keep you well entertained.”
Misalucha’s guest, Jared Martin, is an award-winning tenor from Toms River, New Jersey. Martin received The Presidential Scholarship from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and completed his master’s degree in music education after earning the Presidential Honors for his bachelor’s degree in vocal performance. He has been involved in concerts that benefited Bantay Banta and FCDC. He previously performed with Misalucha, Disney Legend Jodi Benson and American singer-songwriter Ben Folds.
Part of the proceeds from the concert will benefit ABS-CBN’s Bantay Bata Foundation, which supports child abuse victims in the Philippines, and the Filipino-American Community Development Center of Ocean County Inc.(FCDC), a nonprofit that helps preserve Philippine culture and heritage.
