Like any New Yorker would, Sal Valentinetti embraces the hell out of his Empire State upbringing enough that the “America’s Got Talent” alum manages to come off as both Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett in both his charisma and vocals.

His 2021 album Little Valentine—loaded with renditions of love songs that your grandparents probably danced to once upon a time—includes a big band version of The Beatles’ “When I’m Sixty-Four,” which is so perfectly executed that you start to wonder if Paul McCartney had Sinatra in mind when he wrote it as a teenager.

Tickets to see Sal Valentinetti play Hough Hall at Palladium Theater in St. Petersburg on Thursday, Jan. 18 are still available and start at $49.
