Award-winning singer Brian De Lorenzo is equally at home in cabaret rooms, concert halls, and theatres including venues in Boston (Scullers Jazz Club, Club Café), New York (The Metropolitan Room, The Iridium, 54 Below, Birdland, Eighty-Eight’s, Don’t Tell Mama), Provincetown (the Crown & Anchor), Chicago, San Francisco, and cruise ships in Alaska, the Mediterranean, and crossing the Atlantic. Brian has performed at the prestigious Mabel Mercer Cabaret Conventions in New York and Chicago and at three Boston Cabaret Festivals. Chet Williamson of Worcester Magazine: “When a singer has a voice like Brian De Lorenzo, musicians like to say, ‘He is a songwriter’s best friend.’ He has one of those rare voices that make first-time listeners stop and say, ‘Who is that?’” "De Lorenzo has a penchant for story songs that pack a profound punch. In this regard, he is always committed and gives thrilling interpretations of old and new gems that speak from the soul. All songs on this eclectic CD are beautifully arranged and sung with passion, which is the key to this disc which has much to offer.” – John Hoglund, Cabaret Scenes De Lorenzo has been nominated three times for the “Best Cabaret Show” Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) Award. Beverly Creasey of Cabaret Scenes: “...once in a blue moon you’re at a cabaret and you know something extraordinary is going on. De Lorenzo is at the top of his game.” http://www.briandelorenzo.com
