Today (Thursday, July 13) is The Current Happy Hour event at Surly Brewing Co. with the new band Brigitte Calls Me Baby. As the photo above indicates, frontman Wes Leavins has a bit of a crooner vibe going on. He isn’t the first to embody that slow, low, soothing singing style, and he won’t be the last.

To get us in the mood for today’s performance, let’s roll out some classic and contemporary crooner voices. They could be throwback Rat Pack, torch singers, retro, country, lounge, or somewhere in between, but you’ll know it when you hear it.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs with crooner-style vocals do you want to hear?
