Award-Winning Composer Comes to the Hamilton Stage

Award winning composer, Steve Dorff, will perform many of his hits songs on Thursday, December 22nd, at 8pm at the Hamilton Stage.

Industry observers have dubbed multiple award-winning Steve Dorff an enigma who has evolved into a gifted composer in every musical field. There is no way to capture the diversity he regularly displays scoring major motion pictures, television, theater, or via an array of # 1 hit songs. In addition to winning the NSAI Songwriter of the Year award, Dorff has also been honored with more than 40 BMI and 11 Billboard #1 awards.

His was a formidable breakthrough, accelerated through a highly productive association with the legendary Clint Eastwood, beginning with "Every Which Way But Loose". This out-of-the-box smash soon paved the way for a raft of compositions reflecting all musical genres, from contemporary sounds to haunting orchestral melodies.

Three-time Grammy nominee and a fixture on the nation's charts, his dossier includes nine #1 film songs and 15 Top 10 hits, including the Kenny Rogers' classic "Through The Years", a BMI 3 million performance song, as well as "I Just Fall In Love Again ", the Anne Murray record that captured Billboard's #1 Song Of The Year honors.

His many songs have been sung by some of the greatest artists of our time-Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, George Strait, Vanessa Williams and countless others.

Emmy Nominee for six television compositions, his credits are exemplary and include such stalwarts as "Murphy Brown" and "Murder She Wrote". You'll also find his name on evergreens like "Growing Pains", "Alien Nation", "Spenser: for Hire", "Major Dad", "Columbo", "Reba" and the ABC hit "Rodney".

Dorff continues to be ever present in today's recording scene with new songs being released by LeeAnn Womack, and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Bill Medley. He recently produced a new Christmas CD with Rodney Carrington, and is starting production on a Score for a new Motion Picture.
