Press Release Body: Portland, OR: Sunday, August 10, Portland will witness an event that\'s not been seen in the city before. That night, the largest outdoor supperclub ever experienced in Portland will come to life featuring singer/comedian/club owner Tony Starlight and his Cavalcade of Stars. They\'ll be closing out the 25th anniversary of The Bite of Oregon food and music festival with a full two-hour musical variety show. Among the incredible local stars Tony Starlight is assembling, there will be two very special guests: Neil Diamond and Dean Martin.
Well, not really. Tony Starlight himself will perform his impressions of Neil Diamond and Dean Martin during the event with all the verve he displays indoors at Tony Starlight\'s Supperclub & Lounge in NE Portland.
Tony Starlight said, \"The audience at The Bite of Oregon will be getting the best Big Band, Sinatra-style swing, musical impressions and comedy in the Portland metropolitan area. It is Tony Starlight\'s Supperclub & Lounge on a grand scale, with incredible food and drink from all over Oregon. I believe this may be largest outdoor supperclub ever staged in Portland. The fact that we are also helping support the Special Olympics of Oregon is just icing on the cake.\"
