Following a sold-out engagement in April 2015, Feinstein's at the Nikko welcomes back Grammy Award-winning vocalist, Steve Tyrell, for four performances only: Thursday, March 10 (8 p.m.); Friday, March 11 (8 p.m.); Saturday, March 12 (7 p.m.) and Sunday, March 13 (3 p.m.).
The renowned singer returns with a new show, One More for The Road, featuring a full set of Sinatra favorites in celebration of Ol' Blue Eyes' 100th birthday. It's a fitting tribute since it was actually a Sinatra song, "The Way You Look Tonight," that Tyrell sang in the 1991 movie, "Father of the Bride," which launched his career as a singer. Years later, the Sinatra family handpicked Tyrell to perform "Fly Me to the Moon" at the Hollywood Bowl, with Quincy Jones conducting the orchestra, when the Chairman was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2005. Tyrell's ties to the Sinatra family remain tight as he was once again asked to host a three-hour celebration, Siriusly Sinatra's 100th, on Frank's actual birthday, December 12th, LIVE from Patsy's for Sirius XM radio, just as he did in 2014. Tickets for Steve Tyrell range in price from $75-$95 and are available now by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.
Grammy Award winning vocalist Steve Tyrell is the definition of a renaissance man. In his nearly five decades in the music business, he has achieved success as a singer, songwriter, producer, music supervisor, and most recently, radio host.
His breakthrough performances in "Father of the Bride" and "Father of the Bride II" helped Tyrell reinvent and re-popularize classic pop standards for a modern-day audience. His hits, "The Way You Look Tonight," "The Simple Life," "Crush On You," and "The Sunny Side of the Street," have launched millions of romances and been played at thousands of weddings.
As an artist, all 9 of his American Standards albums have achieved top 5 status on Billboard's Jazz charts. His first album, "A New Standard," was amongst the best selling jazz albums for more than 5 years. Steve's latest album, "That Lovin' Feeling," debuted in the top 5. On it, he celebrates what he calls "the Great American Songbook 2," featuring seminal rock era classics penned by legendary songwriters, including
Carole King,
Burt Bacharach,
Neil Sedaka,
Barry Mann and
Cynthia Weil,
Mike Stoller and
Jerry Leiber, among others. He teamed with
Judith Hill of "20 Feet from Stardom," as well as
Neil Sedaka,
Bill Medley, and B.J. Thomas for duets that put a new spin on their signature songs.
In August 2015, Tyrell added radio host to his long line of credits. Every Monday thru Friday, he can be heard on "The
Steve Tyrell Show," from 6PM to 9PM/PT on KJAZZ 88.1 in Los Angeles and online at
jazzandblues.org.
With sold out shows across America and raves from around the world, his following increases day by day. Steve has had the pleasure of singing for Heads of State, including Presidents Bush and Clinton, Prime Minister
Tony Blair, President Santos of Columbia, and Archbishop
Desmond Tutu. In 2014, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales invited Steve and his band for a command performance at Buckingham Palace.
As for American royalty, the Sinatra family has long embraced Steve and his music. Together with
Quincy Jones, they handpicked Steve to be the featured performer with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra at their season opening concert in which
Frank Sinatra was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. Also at the request of the Sinatra family, he reprised that performance at
Carnegie Hall. This was one of the rare times the family has reached into the vault of original Sinatra arrangements to share them with another artist.
Although Steve tours mainly with his band, he also enjoys playing with some of the most renowned orchestras in the world, and has had multiple performances with The Boston Pops, The New York Pops, The Nashville Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, and The Houston Symphony. He has appeared with the New West Symphony in "Visions of America," narrated by
Clint Eastwood, where he sang the songs of Roger Kellaway and Alan and
Marilyn Bergman.
In 2005, after the passing of the legendary
Bobby Short, Steve was asked by New York City's Café Carlyle to take over their revered holiday season of November and December, which Mr. Short had not missed for 36 years.
Tyrell's work in the studio as a record producer has included collaborations with such diverse and legendary artists as

Bonnie Raitt, Blood Sweat and Tears,
Mary J Blige,
Chris Botti,
