Tony Barton has a beautiful baritenor voice – dark and rich in the lower range, bright and free on the top. But voice is only part of a great performance. When talking to Barton, I heard a refreshing perspective....​

​

“Sharp Dressed Man” is an eclectic mix of swing, rockabilly, opera, Elvis – all the things Barton loves. He modifies it for events such as weddings and reunions, creating a tailor-made celebration. As always, he is responsive to his audience, and in my experience, his audiences love him. Barton does it his way and in many ways reminds me of a young Sinatra. Same lean appeal, same charisma, same blue-eyed warmth."...

..."I felt honoured watching Tony's performance," said Dalyce Wickett, communications co-ordinator with the Delta Hospice Society, the recipient of Barton's philanthropy. "Not only is he one of the more experienced musicians that has taken the local stage, he captured Frank Sinatra so accurately that I went away from the show feeling like I knew so much more about the man ​

than when I went in."...
