Tony DeSare in Concert
Singer, pianist and songwriter Tony DeSare ‐ was named a “Rising Star” Male Vocalist in the Downbeat Critics
Poll. He has won critical and popular acclaim for his concert performances throughout the United States as
well as in Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
“With his dark hair, bright brown eyes and
toothpaste smile that rarely fades,” raved The New York Times, “DeSare
is one of the most promising young male performers. He is a Sinatra
acolyte in his early 30s who sings Prince as well as Johnny Mercer…” The
NY Times wrote further: ”DeSare is Two parts young Sinatra, one part
Billy Joel, meshed seamlessly …” The Wall Street Journal followed with:
“He is one third Bobby Darin, one third Bobby Short and one third Bobby
Kennedy.” According to USA Today, “DeSare belongs to a group of
neo‐traditional upstarts stretching from Harry Connick Jr, to Michael
Bublé and Jamie Cullum. DeSare covers old and newer pop and jazz
standards without smothering or over‐thinking the material.”
DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry
playfulness, and robust musicality. His sound is romantic, swinging and
sensual, but what sets DeSare apart is his ability to write original
material that sounds fresh and contemporary, yet pays homage to the
Great American Songbook. As a result, DeSare can deftly glide from a
Gershwin standard, to a Dylan or Paul McCartney classic, to one of his
inventive original songs.
