About
HARRY CONNICK, JR.
Harry Connick, Jr.’s career has exemplified excellence across multiple platforms in the entertainment world over the past three decades. He has received Grammy and Emmy awards as well as Tony nominations for his live and recorded musical performances, his achievements in film and television and his appearances on Broadway as both an actor and a composer. Connick continues to establish himself as a best-selling musician, singer, composer, and a legendary live performer with millions of recordings sold around the world.
The foundation of Connick’s art is the music of his native New Orleans, where he began performing as a pianist and vocalist at the age of five. Highlights of his music career include several multi-platinum recordings such as “When Harry Met Sally,” “Blue Light, Red Light (Someone’s There)”, “When My Heart Finds Christmas,” “Come By Me, and “Only You.” His debut album on legendary Verve Records, his new label home, titled True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter was released in 2019 and which coincided with performances on Broadway at the Nederlander Theatre in a show he wrote and directed: Harry Connick, Jr.- A Celebration of Cole Porter honoring the musical achievements of one of America’s most respected songwriters, Cole Porter. In 2020 as the country entered the pandemic lockdown, he retreated to his home studio and emerged with an album of songs of faith and inspiration. ALONE WITH MY FAITH, released during the spring of 2021 displays the sheer breadth of Connick’s talents as he wrote new songs, arranged all songs, played every instrument, and sang every voice.
Connick has appeared in 20 feature films with actors such as Sandra Bullock, Hilary Swank, Renée Zellweger, Sigourney Weaver, and Morgan Freeman. His work on television includes starring roles on Will and Grace, South Pacific and American Idol. He recently hosted the CBS Special UNITED WE SING: A GRAMMY® TRIBUTE TO THE UNSUNG HEROES, honoring essential workers in the pandemic. In 2016, he launched Harry, a national daytime television show, which earned 11 Daytime Emmy nominations, including nominations for best host, and a Critics’ Choice nomination for best talk show. On Broadway, Connick received Tony nominations as both a lead actor in The Pajama Game and as a composer/lyricist for Thou Shalt Not.
Despite his busy career, Connick has always found the time to be charitable and has done some of his most important work in his efforts to help New Orleans after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. He, along with friend Branford Marsalis, conceived of “Musicians’ Village,” and its centerpiece the Ellis Marsalis Center. Musicians’ Village provides homes for Katrina-displaced musicians while the Center uses music as its focal point of a holistic strategy to deliver a broad range of services to underserved children, youth and musicians from neighborhoods battling poverty and social injustice.
Connick’s honors, including a star on the celebrated Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of the 2019 class of Honorees, induction into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame, Honorary Doctorates from Tulane and Loyola Universities and the Jefferson Award for Public Service, have not led Harry Connick, Jr. to slow his creative pace; they only confirm his determination to apply his talents in ways that prove inspirational to other artists and publicly spirited citizens.

by E. U. on 12/14/22San Diego Civic Theatre - San DiegoHarry was fantastic! He and his musicians were awesome. The sound was the best I've ever heard, no doubt Harry had something to do with that. It was in your face, from the softest notes of his voice, to the blare of the horns. Engaging performance! BRAVO!

by Chris in SD on 12/14/22San Diego Civic Theatre - San DiegoHarry proves once again to be the coolest, most incredibly talented pianist, vocalist, band leading entertainer of this time. Can’t say enough about his band members on brass, string, and percussion. The whole audience left on a jazzy Christmas high!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Classic Harry
by Chitown Guy on 12/14/22San Diego Civic Theatre - San DiegoFantastic intimate experience with HC Jr, he took a ride through some of his classic songs and multiple Christmas albums. He showed great charisma on stage and recognized his band members multiple times, he’s so talented and just a class act. Unfortunately the SD Civic Center needs a complete overhaul, very outdated and the seats are on top of each other.

by Diana West on 12/13/22Centennial Hall - TucsonI am a band director, with a Jazz band. I saw Harry in my hometown, Tucson, AZ, in 2004 and now, at his return, in 2022. Mr. Connick is HANDS-DOWN, the best Jazz pianist, composer and singer, alive. His band/strings are impeccable as well. Bravo!!!

Rating: 4 out of 5 Harry Connick, Jr Christmas Show
by Reviewer on 12/12/22Centennial Hall - TucsonHarry was very good. Sang lots of Christmas / love songs. Played the piano (and other instruments) exceptionally well. Very funny/entertaining, even ad libbing with the audience. Shared some very personal and heartwarming stories. Band was great, loved the drummer. Was a little disappointed in the song selection. Realize that he's debuting songs from his new album, but wanted to hear more traditional songs.

by JP on 12/12/22Centennial Hall - TucsonHe is a master musician, playing piano and a new instrument with precision and spirit, always singing in perfect pitch. His fellow musicians were also wonderful! It was an energetic performance and could not have been more fun!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Superb performance
by aunt mimi on 12/12/22Centennial Hall - TucsonHarry Connick is the ultimate performer. We saw him in Centenial Hall, Tucson and from the moment he casually strolled on stage to his final encore, everything was perfection. (Btw, he started right on time, so don't be late). He is also an incredible musician. His piano solos are entrancing. Beautiful voice and great rapport with the audience. Loved that he shared about his Dad and other family stories. Nice mix of Christmas songs and other songs. Dreamy version of It Had to Be You. Also his band (huge horn section!!!) was amazing, so many talented musicians. I've always been a HC fan, but this was my first time seeing him in person. Definitely won't be my last.
