A nightly lineup of live music has resumed at The Chesterfield’s Leopard Lounge, the big cat-spotted venue adjacent to the hotel’s restaurant and al fresco courtyard.

Among the performers this season is longtime favorite Adam Austin, a piano man and vocalist who’s been a mainstay at The Chesterfield for 20-plus years. He’s been called the Frank Sinatra of Palm Beach because when he sings a trademark Sinatra tune, listeners insist he sounds like Ol’ Blue Eyes himself.

Austin, who also has the uncanny ability to sound like James Taylor or Billy Joel when singing their songs, performs two nights a week at The Chesterfield’s Leopard Lounge. Look for him 5 to11:30 p.m. Thursdays and 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. Fridays.

Other performers providing live music each week at The Leopard include jazz pianist Hal Roland from 6 to10:30 p.m. Mondays and saxophone player Terry Cooper from 6 to 10:30 p.m. Tuesdays.

Jazz vocalist Lennis Sabatino performs 6-10:30 p.m. Wednesdays and smooth jazz musician Ric Cunningham plays 5 to 7 p.m. Fridays.

The lineup at The Leopard also includes keyboardist Spencer Wood from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturdays and jazz guitarist Bill Coleman from 6-10:30 p.m. Sundays.

Dancing kicks up Saturday nights when the band Uptown Express plays from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m.

The live-music schedule at The Leopard can change, so it’s wise to call ahead before you go.
