Touring in support of his latest release A Song For You, Grammy Award-winning vocalist Steve Tyrell is truly a renaissance man. In his four and a half decades in the music business, he has achieved great success as an artist, producer, songwriter, music supervisor, and performer.

In addition to winning a Grammy, Tyrell has earned two Emmy nominations, 3 Ace Nominations, 2004 American Society of Young Musician’s “All That Jazz Award,” 2006 Society of Singers “Lifetime Achievement Award,” and 2008 Los Angeles Jazz Society’s “Jazz Vocalist of the Year.” All seven of his American Standards albums have achieved Top 5 status on Billboard’s Jazz charts, and his first album was amongst the best selling jazz albums for over 5 years.

With the grit and soul of a lifetime of experiences, producing hits for Grammy-winning Artists ranging from Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville to Rod Stewart and Diana Ross, Tyrell has sold hundreds of thousands of albums and gained a passionate following all over the world. He’s held top positions at Standards, Swing, and Big Band outlets, and has a devoted following in Adult Contemporary Radio. Tyrell has appeared with The Boston Pops, The New York Pops, The Nashville Symphony, and The Houston Symphony on several occasions. At the request of the Sinatra family and Quincy Jones, he was the featured performer with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra at their season opening concert in which Frank Sinatra was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. Also at the request of the Sinatra family, he reprised that performance at Carnegie Hall. This is one of the rare times the family has reached into the vault of original Sinatra arrangements to share them with another artist.

“His vocals are measured, his dynamics effective he wins over the room the old-fashioned way, by taking a solid song and doing it justice.” - Jazz Times
