Tony DeSare, originator of the Sunday Night Bemelmans series, has announced an extended Sunday night residency at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, in New York City.
As a vocalist and pianist, DeSare has reached critical and popular acclaim for his performances throughout the United States and all over the world and was named a rising star male vocalist in Downtown magazine's recent Critics’ Poll. He also has three top 10 Billboard jazz albums and has been featured on the CBS Early Show, NPR and The Today Show.
DeSare is also an accomplished, award-winning composer, having written the theme song for the motion picture My Date with Drew and the 20th Century Fox film The Tooth Fairy along with several broadcast commercials. His compositions include a wide-range of romantic, funny and soulful tunes that can be found on his top-selling recordings as well as on his YouTube page, which has accumulated nearly 1 million total views.
He has also made numerous symphony appearances this season, including The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, the Dallas Symphony, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and The Philly Pops.
“He is two parts Sinatra to one part Billy Joel, meshed seamlessly ... A Sinatra acolyte in his early 30s who sings Prince as well as Johnny Mercer,” says The New York Times.
Throughout his residency, DeSare will be accompanied by Ed Decker on guitar and Steve Doyle on the bass. The trio hopes to bring a fresh take on old school classics.
DeSare will perform Sunday nights, Jan. 4 to 25, Feb. 8 and 15 and March 1 and 8 at 9 p.m. For more information, click here.
