Austin Cabaret Theater Presents... Tony DeSare

4.8

Get ready for a night of smooth jazz swagger and old-school charm as Austin Cabaret Theater presents the one and only Tony DeSare! This isn’t just another piano man in a suit – DeSare is a singer, pianist, and songwriter who pours infectious joy, sly wit, and big-band-level energy into every note.

Named a Rising Star Male Vocalist by the legendary jazz magazine DownBeat, Tony has taken his romantic, swinging, and downright sensual sound from intimate jazz clubs all the way to Carnegie Hall and Las Vegas showrooms. He’s headlined with major symphony orchestras across the country, bringing a fresh, modern spark to classic style.

DeSare’s concerts feel like stepping into a glamorous, candlelit nightclub where the Great American Songbook is very much alive. Expect:

Velvety vocals and dazzling piano that nod to Sinatra-era elegance
Beloved jazz standards blended with smart, catchy original tunes
A playful, charismatic stage presence that makes the night feel personal and spontaneous
Stories and arrangements that make timeless songs feel brand new

With multiple Top 10 Billboard jazz albums, national TV appearances, film scores, and collaborations with modern swing sensations like Postmodern Jukebox, Tony DeSare lives at the sweet spot where vintage cool meets contemporary flair.

If you love lush melodies, sophisticated grooves, and that irresistible cabaret intimacy, this is the night to dress up a little, order your favorite drink, and sink into an evening of world-class live music.
