Alistair Tober was recently called “the Crooner for a new generation, with a vocal sensibility similar to voices from the Big Band and American Standards era, while displaying a feeling and understanding for the style and emotion found in today’s original music.” His voice has become a familiar sound in many music circles around the world including Adult Contemporary, Jazz and American Songbook styles. Alistair maintains a busy recording schedule, lending his voice to many popular film soundtracks, television programs and studio albums, all while maintaining a year-round live performance schedule.

Alistair’s first solo album, aptly titled, “From The Start,” was released and distributed through Universal Fontana in 2009, under the guidance of longtime music industry professional, Leo Rossi, co-produced by Josh Nelson, Kyle Puccia and Alistair. Several songs off this album have been used in feature films, most notably, “Just The Way You Look Tonight,” in the feature, “The Other End of The Line, for MGM. “Taco Shop,” a comedy feature set to be released in 2012 will feature another of Alistair’s original songs, “If I See Your Face Again,” and Alistair is music supervising the film as well. “From The Start,” paid tribute to the Standards and Singers of the 21st century, inspired by Crooners like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme and Chet Baker.

Alistair is currently working on his second solo album, which leans more towards Blue Eyed Soul, with a Retro Groove while maintaining a sense of that Big Band Crooner sound. Prior to his solo recording career, Alistair spent time on the road with theatrical productions including, Rock of Ages, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease and Singin’ In The Rain. He also headlined the national tour of “Wizard” a tribute to composer Harold Arlen, he sang in the touring revue, “Gershwin Sing Gershwin” and Alistair continues to perform with a 32 piece orchestra alongside Barbara Morrison in a Big Band show titled, “Come Fly With Me.”
