Sat, Dec 26, Lee Diamond

Lee Diamond has been crooning his way into the hearts of regulars every Friday and Saturday at Back Door Lounge in Old Sac for ages. He has that whole Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin presence: you know, smooth ’60s-heartthrob-meets-mob-boss persona. The only legit excuse for missing Diamond is being stuck in your house because you weigh 800 pounds and can’t fit through the front door. In that case, check out his recent show at www.livefromsoulstavern.com. This month, the Sacramento-based Web site features Diamond surrounded by the warm twinkle of Christmas lights singing holiday classics. How’s that for smooth? 1112 Firehouse Alley, www.leediamondsings.com.
