SAMMY@100:
A Centennial Celebration Tour
Honoring the past, creating in the present, inspiring the future.
December 2025 marks 100 years of Sammy Davis Jr.
To honor the moment, I’m taking my tribute show — Beyond the Lights: Discovering Sammy Davis Jr. — on tour.
Sammy’s story is one of artistry, resilience, and breaking barriers. I’ve brought it to museums, schools, theaters and lounges, even vineyards — and now, with your help, we can share it worldwide.
About the Show
Dubbed “The World’s Greatest Entertainer,” he was the brightest star in Vegas—yet often couldn’t walk through the front door.
A dancing prodigy, a Rat Pack legend, an activist—but also a man who struggled with identity, acceptance and the price of success.
What do you really know about Sammy Davis Jr.?
“Beyond the Lights” is not just a tribute—it’s a journey. A deep dive into the triumphs and struggles of a legend, told through music, storytelling and the lens of a modern artist retracing Sammy’s footsteps. More than a performance, it’s an invitation to rediscover the man behind the spotlight. Audiences will be immersed in a world where jazz, swing and classic standards come alive.
About the Tour
A one-man homage to Sammy Davis Jr., blending song, story, and cultural history. From museums to theaters, Aaron Reeder brings the legend to life with voice, story, and song—scalable for any stage. Touring in celebration of Sammy’s centennial.
