FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post, will continue its Spring 2011 season with the debut of Tom Postilio, the acclaimed vocalist and star of HGTV's "Selling New York," from May 17 to May 21. "This Time Around" will include classic standards by Stephen Sondheim ("Old Friends"), Cole Porter ("I Happen To Like New York"), Rodgers & Hart ("Manhattan") and Irving Berlin ("Let Me Sing And I'm Happy"). The new show, directed by Mark Waldrop, features Dean Schneider on piano, Steve Laspina on bass and Dave Meade on drums. All shows are at the Loews Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street).

Tom Postilio was praised by the New York Times for his "smooth, rich crooning voice that sends out an emotional current." One of today's outstanding vocalists and preeminent torchbearers of the American popular songbook, Tom starred in the hit Off-Broadway musical revue, Our Sinatra for 18 months. At the age of 20, Tom was invited to tour internationally for a year as the featured vocalist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The tour included concerts throughout Europe, Asia and the U.S., culminating in a performance before 18,000 people at the Hollywood Bowl on a bill with the Tommy Dorsey and Count Basie Orchestras. Tom's success catapulted with his auspicious nightclub debut in Manhattan at Tavern on the Green's Chestnut Room. He was honored by the Manhattan Association of Clubs (MAC) for Outstanding New York debut and received the Back Stage Bistro Award for Outstanding Vocalist that same year.

Tom has performed throughout the country in theaters and nightclubs, from sold-out shows at San Francisco's Plush Room to the renowned Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, Long Island. Mr. Postilio has drawn rave reviews with some of the nation's top symphony orchestras, including the Honolulu Symphony, where he performed at their 100th Anniversary Gala. Mr. Postilio's television appearances include NBC-TV's "Today" show where he performed live from Rockefeller Plaza, "Sinatra: The Very Good Years" for PBS Great Performances, BBC News and CNN's ShowBiz Today.

Mr. Postilio's recordings include What Matters Most (Elba Records), featuring full orchestra, and Dream (DRG Records) both arranged and conducted by John Oddo. Upon the release of his second album, Billboard raved "Dream finds the young vocalist affirming his position of prominence as an interpreter of the classic American songbook and swing music from the big-band era."

FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY will present Tom Postilio from Tuesday, May 17 through Saturday, May 21 with the following schedule: Tuesday through Thursday at 8:30 PM; and Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 PM and 10:30 PM. All shows have a $40.00 cover, with $60.00 premium seats available, all with a $25.00 food and beverage minimum. Jackets are suggested but not required.
