Harry Connick, Jr Comes to Morris Performing Arts Center Tonight

Harry Connick, Jr. is among today's most successful and multi-talented artists. He has garnered acclaim in both the music and acting arenas. While he first reached a mass audience as a pianist, singer and bandleader, his subsequent success in theatre, film, and television have secured his place as a renaissance man and a versatile entertainer, earning him both Grammy and Emmy awards as well as Tony nominations.

His love of music and performing dates back to his childhood in New Orleans, where he studied piano with such luminaries as James Booker and Ellis Marsalis. He first performed publicly at age five, appeared on his first recording at age nine, and released his self-titled major label debut for Columbia Records at 19, only a year after his high school graduation and his move to New York City. He has since released 24 albums, totaling more than 28 million in sales, and has received numerous music honors, including three Grammy Awards.

His summer tour will bring him to South Bend on Sunday, July 14 at Morris Performing Arts Center. Showtime is 8:00pm. This performance with his band will be in support of his new album release Every Man Should Know (in stores June 11th), a collection of original songs that touches on some of Harry's deepest feelings about life and love.

Reserved tickets ($75 / $55 / $36 and a limited number of gold circle seating) will be available at the Morris Box Office, Supersounds Catalog Center in Goshen, Hammes BookstorE Eddy Street, O'Brien Recreation Center South Bend.
