Buble tickets

His music and moves are more evocative of Frank Sinatra than a "modern day" heart-throb, but when Michael Bublé sings the standards he finds a way to make them his own.

More than anything Bublé says he strives to be an entertainer. Since his self-titled debut in 2003, he's sold more than 12 million albums.

His latest "Call Me Irresponsible" hit the charts at No. 1 and went platinum. His concerts are selling out around the world and somehow Bublé has done it singing songs much older than he is.

"... when I cover a great standard , you know, you can say, 'Well, I've heard that by Tony Bennett, or I've heard it by Streisand or Sinatra or Sammy or Dean or Mel or the Mills Brothers, - you can go on you know, there's a, some of them have been covered by 40 or 50 great acts and so when I cover a song like that and I interpret a song, conceptually it's important for me to come up with something that's fresh, you know, to breathe life into this."

Bublé 's career began at a small theater on Vancouver's Granby Island, where he began performing at as a teenager.

These days, he's carefully adding new songs to his repertoire - songs he wrote himself like "Everything," "Lost" and "Home."

Bublé first heard the classic tunes he loves as a little boy spending time with his grandfather, while his father, a salmon fisherman, was out at sea.

And this 32-year old Canadian has also got a playful personality to go along with his pitch perfect pipes. He radiates rat pack cool - without the martinis. Bublé is irreverent, risqué and even sometimes a little juvenile; but audiences can't get enough and he wants people to live him.
