Crooner Steve Lippia interprets the music made famous by Frank Sinatra in honor of the hundredth anniversary of Sinatra's birth at Mayo Performing Arts Center, Saturday, January 16, 2016 at 8 pm. Tickets are $39-59.
Steve Lippia is a singer's singer. He possesses clear understanding of a lyric, and the talent to interpret music the way it was intended to be by the composers of some of the greatest music our country has produced. Reminiscent of the young Sinatra,
Bobby Darin, and
Harry Connick, Jr.,
Steve Lippia moves from crisp, popping swing tunes to lush, poignant ballads with equanimity. His natural sound and style is a remarkable combination of his own honest musical interpretation and the influence of the best singers of an incredible era of American music. The great composers of the time,
Cole Porter,
Harold Arlen,
Sammy Cahn,
Jimmy Van Heusen, Rogers and Hart: all are honored flawlessly, with a sincerity so often missing in today's performers.
With great stage presence, charm and ease, Steve pulls his audience back in time to a comfort zone not often available from
the concert stage today. He delivers his music in a deeply personal way and includes standards permanently engraved in the American Songbook: "I've Got You Under My Skin," "The Lady is a Tramp," "Mack the Knife," "That's Life" -- they all comes back to us again through the work of
Steve Lippia.
With a hot, driving band behind him, Lippia impeccably interprets the best repertoire of the Big Band era, leaving his audience begging for more. A modern Sinatra, a gifted performer, a special experience...
Steve Lippia : He does it his way.
