Sal Valentinetti to headline Paramount show in Huntington

Singer Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti has returned to Long Island, fresh from the finals of “America’s Got Talent” season 11, and now he’s ready to play on his home turf. On Dec. 15, the Bethpage native will headline The Paramount in Huntington with a show focused on the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the Rat Pack.

Crooning Sinatra’s “My Way” is how he captured the Golden Buzzer on “AGT” from judge Heidi Klum, which instantly sent him into the quarterfinals.

“Sinatra had it all and was unapologetically himself,” says Valentinetti, 21. “The song, ‘My Way,’ means a lot to me because of that. I think I did well (on ‘AGT’) because I was authentic. I was just me.”

Tickets for the show, $25-$54.50, go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., and a presale (code: PULSE) runs from 10 a.m. Wednesday and 10 p.m. Thursday on ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.
