Bob Anderson Gives Back To The Kids at Frank Sinatra School of the Arts

Ahead of his one-night-only concert at Carnegie Hall, Bob Anderson, star of One More For The Road the award-winning authentic reenactment concert honoring the music of Frank Sinatra, will make a special visit with the students at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in New York City this Wednesday, December 8.
At the assembly, Anderson will present five lucky students and their parents with tickets to the event in the Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, December 11 at 7:00 PM (the eve of Sinatra’s 106th birthday).
“Frank Sinatra was a very generous man. His kindness was expressed through outreach to the communities where he lived and worked––all around the world,” Anderson said. “It is part of my life’s work to keep Frank’s music alive and appreciated by all. These students are deserving of experiencing Frank with music from his great American songbook performed using his original arrangements. And we want to give them that opportunity.”
“We are very excited to have Bob Anderson at the school and talking with our vocal and orchestra students,” said Gideon Frankel, Principal of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts. “Our school is a tribute to Frank Sinatra, and we impress on our students that staying dedicated to their art will help them achieve success. Bob’s career is an exemplary example of that. The winners of the tickets to One More For The Road will be able to see a performance as close to Frank Sinatra as you can get.”
Additionally, in appreciation of their service protecting the citizens of New York City, more than 150 active and retired first responders have been invited to attend Anderson’s one-night-only concert. This effort was made possible in collaboration with Tony Orlando, American singer, songwriter, producer, music executive, and actor, and Kevin Schroeder, Owner/President at Black Tie Protection Services Inc., President of the Retired Detectives of the Police Department of the city of New York and a 28-year retired veteran of the New York Police Department, Bob Anderson Productions and Twin Palms Entertainment, producers of One More For The Road.
One More For The Road, starring singer, actor, and the number one singing impressionist in the world Bob Anderson, is a must-see show, in which fans experience Frank and his music at the peak of his career, honors the musical legacy of Frank Sinatra and his tremendous contribution to the Great American Songbook. The captivating production features a 32-piece orchestra, Sinatra’s original charts of his most-beloved songs, the work of Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning makeup artists and singing impressionist Bob Anderson–who not only sounds like Sinatra, but looks like him too.

Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Elevates Javits Center with Street Art for Mankind

This was a project with passion that we can get behind!
Bulleit Frontier Whiskey and Street Art for Mankind worked with artist, Carlos Alberto, to create the mural this fall that aims to inspire the community to become agents of environmental change. A hub for artists, New York is the ideal location for a mural of this size and importance. The mural was unveiled during Climate Week NYC.
“The growth of our partnership with American Forests over the past three years is a testament to our commitment to creating real change,” said Jesse Damashek, Senior Vice President of Whiskies & Liqueurs at Diageo. “The Tree Equity plantings we do are extremely impactful and important to the local communities we serve, and with Street Art for Mankind, we’re able to bring critical attention to these efforts, and the broader need for global Ecosystem Restoration. The Ecosystem Restoration murals that Street Art creates do a masterful job of promoting this important work, as well as inspiring people to be drivers of environmental change.”
In support of the United Nations Environment Programme, a part of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, Street Art for Mankind created the Ecosystem Restoration Murals Project. Through this project, Bulleit is supporting the creation of five ecosystem restoration murals across the US. To create the mural in New York City, Street Art for Mankind partnered with Carlos Alberto. A street artist from Mexico, Carlos loves nature and using 3D effects to bring his art to life.
On the side of the city’s largest convention center, the Javits Center, Carlos created the mural in only 10 days. Carlos explained that his design features a woman hugging a tree to signify that she wants there to be more of them in her neighborhood. The woman is surrounded by the jungle, reminding viewers that, even in the “concrete jungle,” communities need trees and nature.
The mural also makes a reference to biodiversity with plants and animals from New York state, and from around the world. On the left you will find extinct and endangered plants and animals, and on the right you can see recovering species, reflecting the challenge and the hope that comes from global ecosystem restoration efforts. Kicking-off Climate Week NYC, this mural will serve as a vivid reminder of the critical need for global ecosystem restoration.
The public can scan the mural for an audio guide using a free mobile app called “Behind the Wall®”, published by SAM on Playstore and the Appstore. The app allows people to discover the story behind Ecosystem Restoration, hear officials talk about the issue, and listen to Carlos talk about his creation.
