About Me

Upon his mother's passing, John Cardenas inherited her passion for singing. He now performs a tribute to her favorite singer, Frank Sinatra. Each performance is dedicated to the memory of his late mother. John now has hundreds of performances under his belt. This is not an impersonation show but rather a celebration of the songs that have become the standards in music history. John has formed a five-piece band that is called Breeze. Together they perform pop standards and latin standards with a jazz and bossa nova feel. John has performed at festivals, fairs, wineries, restaurants, casinos, hotels and concerts both indoor and outdoor.

Influences: Many of the great singers of the Standards, especially Sinatra. But most of all my mother Caroline, she introduced me to this great music. When Cardenas is questioned on why he sings this genre of music, he thinks back to something Frank Sinatra said in a 1965 interview with Walter Cronkite. Frank Sinatra was asked how he would like to be remembered? “I would like to be remembered as a man who brought a innovation to popular singing. A peculiar unique fashion that I wish one of these days somebody would learn to do, so it doesn’t die where it is,” Sinatra replied. “That’s all that I am doing, trying to keep this music going so that it doesn’t die”, says Cardenas. This music belongs to anyone of any generation who has known love or lonieness or lived with a heart full of high hopes. That maybe why any year inwhich we can hear that music, relive those songs, is in it's way, a very good year.Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!
