Simply Sinatra

Steve Lippia has become one of the most prominent, in-demand vocalists and has quickly established his place among the finest interpreters of standards and traditional pop music in the nation. Steve’s youthful, energetic talent and powerful show creates a perfect blend of classic with current. His show introduces a new generation to timeless music, while appealing to long-time listeners. With a hot, driving band behind him, Steve moves from crisp, popping swing tunes to lush, poignant ballads. He possesses great stage presence, a charm and an ease that immediately endears audiences to him.

The great entertainers of the time are honored with sincerity and style as Steve Lippia performs a show stopping repertoire of popular Big Band and classic American pop. His repertoire includes such great standards as “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “The Lady Is A Tramp”, “Mack The Knife”, “Summer Wind”, “You Make Me Feel So Young”, “That’s Life”, and “The Best Is Yet To Come”.

His natural sound and style is a remarkable combination of his own honest musical interpretation, with influences from some of the best singers of this era. It is immediately apparent that Steve’s sound is reminiscent of a younger Sinatra, as he uses the musical organization from Frank Sinatra's original arranger.

Steve’s much acclaimed, self-titled CD was recorded at Warner Brothers’ Studios in Los Angeles with a 41-piece symphony. In addition, Steve has recorded “Steve Lippia Live”, a collection of some of his live performances. His much anticipated third CD, titled “Steve Lippia In Concert”, was released June 16, 2009. He performed in a highly successful European Jazz Festival Tour that resulted in a nationally televised special on Finnish TV2 and his TV appearances include “EXTRA”, FOX’s “Good Day New York”, CNN’s “Showbiz Today”, ABC and the BBC.
Lippia is sure to captivate the Jacksonville audience with his stellar live show when he performs in Jacksonville April 7-8, 2011 at The Times Union Center’s Moran Theater.
