Five-time Grammy nominee Michael Feinstein, Songbook Foundation founder and artistic director at the Center, will lead tributes to this year’s Songbook Hall of Fame inductees: Academy Award-winning composer Jimmy Van Heusen, singer-actress Rosemary Clooney and cabaret and musical theater star Marilyn Maye. The celebration’s presenting sponsor is Krieg DeVault,

The theme “Swinging on a Star” fittingly is a tune written by Van Heusen and performed by Clooney. The event begins with the 5 p.m. First Merchants Bank Cocktail Reception and continues with an elegant dinner in the concert hall; live auction; program; and after-party. Tables seating 4 to 10 guests for the entire evening are available for purchase at [email protected].

Tickets for the after-dinner portion are on sale at 10 a.m. at the Palladium Box Office, online at thecenterpresents.org or by phone at 317- 843-3800. Tickets include gallery or box seating for the 8:30 p.m. Songbook Hall of Fame induction ceremony, followed by Isaak’s headline performance as well as admission to the all-inclusive after-party, with dancing and complimentary drinks and desserts in three uniquely themed rooms from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Isaak has drawn comparisons to Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison with 1950s-influenced hits such as “Wicked Game,” “Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing” and “Somebody’s Crying.” He starred in the Showtime sitcom “The Chris Isaak Show” from 2001-04, a fictionalized look at his life as a professional musician.
