By: Kelsey Denette
Acclaimed Jazz Singer, Pianist and Songwriter Tony DeSare schedules 4 Orlando performances.
Tony DeSare will play four Orlando Concerts May 2-5, 2013 at the Orlando Cabaret Festival.
Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. His takes on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him areputation as one of country'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 withthe Great American Songbook. Tony has the capability to glide from a standard by George Gershwin to a contemporary classic by Bob Dylan or Phil Collins to one of his inventive original songs with ease.
DeSare's noted versatility enables him to headline a variety of venues. He has performed at major jazz rooms like Birdland and the Blue Note with his quartet; posh nightclubs like the Café Carlyle and Feinstein's at the Regency; with his big band in concert halls like Jazz at Lincoln Center; or with a 60-piece orchestra. He has won critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout the United States as well as in Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
