The After Party welcomes Tony DeSare 4/18

Friday, April 18th,  The After Party welcomes Telarc Recording Artist Tony DeSare. Plus, a Birthday Party for ADAM ROSEN
 
Singer, pianist and composer Tony DeSare earned raves for his recent debut at the legendary Café Carlyle. "With his dark hair, bright brown eyes and toothpaste smile that rarely fades," raved The New York Times, "he exhibits the slicked-up charm of an early 60's pop star with Rat Pack dreams." United Press International called him "the freshest face on the saloon circuit… [with] a straight-forward delivery that is hard to beat in a profession that already has too many overly mannered divas. You'll be seeing him around a lot, and very soon." MSNBC praised him as "an engaging singer, with a warm, clear, mellifluous voice and some real stage charisma."
 
Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. His takes on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him a reputation as one of New York's hottest young singer/pianists. His sound is romantic, swinging and sensual, but what sets Tony apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and at the same time blends seamlessly with the Great American Songbook. Tony has the capability to glide rom a standard by George Gershwin to a contemporary classic by Tom Waits to one of his inventive original songs with ease.
 
Shortly after moving to New York City in 1999, Tony was cast as the star of the long running Off-Broadway musical smash, Our Sinatra, in which he was praised by Variety for his "dapper charm." Tony has also been a featured performer at Jilly's, the legendary Rat Pack era celebrity hangout owned by Frank Sinatra's best friend. In the fall of 2002, Tony performed at the Apollo Theater where he first met jazz guitar icon Bucky Pizzarelli. Since then, Tony and Bucky have performed numerous times together. Currently, Tony has become a main attraction at New Jersey's premier jazz club, Shanghai Jazz, where he plays monthly to sold-out crowds. Tony and Mike were also featured in New York TV personality Bill Boggs's Off Broadway show Talk Show Confidential at the John Houseman Theater.
