Grammy Nominee Tony Orlando has sold millions of records, including five number one hits: "Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Ole Oak Tree," "Knock Three Times," "Candida," "My Sweet Gypsy Rose" and "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)." One of America's most endearing and enduring iconic stars, Tony brings his exhilarating energy, warmth and humor to a premiere live concert at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Monday, January 28 at 8 p.m. Tony Orlando celebrates over five decades as a beloved entertainer in a concert experience you won't want to miss!

Tony was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and won three American Music Awards and two People's Choice Awards. He has two Platinum albums, three Gold albums and 15 Top 40 Hits. The popular Tony Orlando and Dawn variety show ran for four seasons on CBS in the 1970's, catapulting the duo to fame as the first multi-racial singing group to star in a network television series.

Known for working tirelessly on behalf of our veterans, Tony has entertained for five U.S. presidents, served as Master of Ceremonies at the Pentagon for the Secretary of Defense Freedom Awards and serves as host of the Congressional Medal of Honor dinner every year. At the 40th Anniversary of the NAM-POW's Homecoming Celebration in 2014, he was named Honorary Chairman at the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library. He is Honorary Chairman of Snowball Express, an organization serving children of fallen military heroes.

Tony has many accomplishments to his name: top-selling recording artist, songwriter, concert headliner, network television star, Motion Picture actor, Broadway performer and author. He was also General Manager and VP of CBS-Music Division April-Blackwood Music from 1966-1970. Tony signed and produced Barry Manilow's first recording while working for the legendary Clive Davis.
