ITALY'S MOST ACCOMPLISHED MUSICAL EXPORT OF THE LAST DECADE RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA IN MAY 2010 FOR A NATIONAL CONCERT TOUR.

Dainty Consolidated Entertainment is thrilled to confirm that Patrizio Buanne, the world's most exciting baritone crooner, will tour Australia in May 2010. The concert tour will travel to Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

Inspired by the legendary Italian American singers of the 50's and 60's, like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, Patrizio Buanne epitomises style, sophistication and elegance. With his rich baritone voice he is a unique performer in the modern world of entertainment.

Patrizio is renowned for his energetic yet intimate live shows, he uniquely combines charisma, sex appeal and raw talent with a natural intuition for performance.

This will be Patrizio's 3rd national concert tour of Australia, he last toured in 2007 to sold-out crowds.

With over a million album sales already to his credit, Patrizio enters an exciting new stage of his career with the release of his eponymously titled third album. The new collection follows his previous albums 'The Italian' (2005) and 'Forever Begins Tonight' (2007).

Produced by Humberto Gatica (Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli and Michael Bubl?) and recorded at Westlake and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, the album both pays homage to Patrizio's influences while also offering enthralling original compositions. It highlights contemporary interpretations of classics from the great Italian and American songbooks including 'Mambo Italiano', 'Fly Me To The Moon', 'Have you Ever Really Loved a Woman' and 'Never, Never, Never' alongside new songs such as Diane Warren's 'Why Did You Have To Be?'.

Patrizio recorded his debut album 'The Italian' at Abbey Road alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and it proved to be a truly global phenomenon with sales reaching double Platinum in Australia and Platinum in South Africa, New Zealand, Asia, Austria and Finland. In the UK, 'The Italian' was certified double Gold with sales in excess of 200,000 as it hit the Top 10 of the album charts.

His second album 'Forever Begins Tonight' continued his success as it crashed into the Top 10 on Billboard's Top World Music Albums chart. Again featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the album was particularly notable for featuring the first and only Italian language interpretation of Robbie Williams' signature song 'Angels'.

Patrizio's popularity spread to the live arena as he embarked on several sold-out international tours. Key to his success is his inimitable voice and charmingly charismatic live performances.
