Steve Tyrell

This was my second time seeing Steve Tyrell, and the first for my friend and his mom. We went to this together (I bought the tickets), and enjoyed the show a great deal. In fact, I felt that this performance was better than the show I saw Tyrell perform a few years before at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, MN. Everything just seemed to 'click' at this show--our seats (right up against the stage in the center), the setlist (a nice mix of standards both contemporary and non), Steve's band (he had horns this time, very appreciated), even the dinner served (lasagna, which was a surprise, because usually the meals at the Canyon Club leave a lot to be desired). Steve was in a great mood, he was much more personable than before, and we had a good time. It was cool of Steve to come out afterwards and meet us by the stage, too.

Great concert Steve Tyrell sang from his soul excellent song choices

Best voice. Great choice of songs. Unforgettable.i will definitely see more of his concerts soon.

Steve's show was wonderful at the Birchmere in Arlington. Steve and his band sounded great. He even came out to meet and sign CDs at the end of his show. He's a great all around showman. I would go and see him again. Looking forward to the new CD this spring.

Steve was right on point. His Repertoire was a fabulous mix of songs from the American Songbook and later top artists. And his delivery was superb. Great rapport with the audience. This is a show I would definitely see again!

Steve Tyrell is just a classy guy - great stage presence, good story teller, very engaged with the audience - and a great crooner as well. He moved smoothly through some wonderful classic songs. My wife and I just loved the concert, and especially enjoyed meeting him afterward. He was headed to NY next week for a two month stint at the Carlyle. We might have to make a special trip up - he's worth it.

real connection with audience i.e. a mention of quincy jones ( Q to him ) and jimmy hendrix which prompted a post show ( jazz alley - seattle ) conversation that quincy played for our high school in dances in 1950 at SHADY BEACH - north end of lake washington. also that I sold investment property to jimmy's dad - al - who told me that frank sinatra laid down $ 400,000 to launch his son's career! what a delightful talk with tryell about me with a 1 in a 100 chance of having a couple of exoeriences that dovetailed into his onstage sharing of a professional relationship with 2 of his favorite icons. this is a genuine guy whose show does not have one '' little tune by our drummer " you will know every song. this cat can CUT IT.

I have now seen Steve Tyrell play at Jazz Alley 4 times, and I will continue to go every time he comes. He is a great performer, bringing you in to the song with his eye contact and charming winks. At least he brings the ladies into the performance, anyway. He has such an incredible voice, and his stories between the songs make you feel like you are just in his living room, getting to know him. I would recommend this show to anyone and everyone. I have brought someone new with me to his show each time, and they all have people they now want to bring. I just wish he would come back in December for a Christmas show! (hint!hint!)

A night we will never forget! Amazing music, talented musicians, and a voice that can't be matched. Steve would sprinkle little stories about the songs he was singing throughout the night, adding another reason to love these songs (and him!)

Was the first in line at Jazz Alley and ended up dead center front row. Steve Tyrell was personable and entertaining. Some artist don't sound the same live but Steve Tyrell sounded just like he does on his CD's. Sounded perfect ! The disappointing part was not hearing him sing any of the songs I love that he does.

I've been a fan of Steve Tyrell ever since the first time I heard him over 10yrs ago. We planned our vacation around this show just to be able see/hear him (driving from Portland and flying out of Seattle for our trip before), and he didn't disappoint! There aren't many times you can go to a show and walk away believing the artist sounds even better in person. He truly is one of the greats. We'd both go see him again in a heartbeat. Come to Portland, OR!!

I discovered the wonderful talent of Steve Tyrell about 6 years ago. I purchased a couple of CD's then. About a year later I was able to see him in person, meet him and had a picture taken with him. Since then, I've been fortunate to see him in person two more times. He is a great talent and makes you want to get up a dance or remember your younger years. He keeps a smile on your face through out his performance.

Steve Tyrell is a fantastic singer and an even better performer. His voice pulls you into the music so you feel the song, you don't just listen. He obviously loves to perform and shares little antedotes about the songs, which makes it even more enjoyable. I have seen him three times at Jazz Alley...which is the perfect venue for his music. I look forward to more visits from him and will continue to buy tickets each and every time.

Steve put on a great performance. His voice on stage is the same as on the recording. He incorporated stories into his set, which made it even more entertaining. I will definitely go again next year!

His 5 piece band was excellent. His manner and delivery immpecable. He is so at home on the stage. During his smooth performance he wove in tales of 'back in the day', and all the great names and talents with which he has worked. If my girlfriend had not had an early flight Sunday, we would have stayed for the second show as well. It was like he was performing for you at home in your livingroom. Great event!

This concert was everything I had hoped for. The setting was intimate so the amplifiers did not have to be ear-shattering. Steve is WONDERFUL. We love the standards and he does them so well! Loved his stories in between some of the selections. I hope he comes back next year! Please !! Did not care for the woman in the front conversing with him. Thought she was rude, but Steve took her in stride. 5 stars for Steve and his musicians!! A total class experience.

Show was great,Steve performed well,sound was excellent.The only low point was the drunk sitting in front who wouldn't quit talking.Steve handled her well

The concert was excellent. Steve is a terrific entertainer with a great voice and stage presence. His backup musicians are stellar in their own right. . This was the third time my wife and I have seen Steve perform and we were impressed each time. He is a true artist and his musical accomplishments are legendary. The venue at E.J. Thomas Hall is terrific.

He sang for at least an hour and a half. The songs were perfect and his band extremely talented. I would definitely attend another if his concerts

Steve Tyrell was excellent. He was backed up by fabulous musicians. His contagious smile & heart warming stage presence, adds up to a very relaxing evening.

He was a bucket-list performer. I was surprised to see he was going to perform locally. It was a great show. He sang all of his standards. I would enjoy seeing him again.

The venue was perfect for Steve's voice and accompanying musicians. Always a class act.

Personable purveyor of the Great American Songbook ....always delivers !

Once again, the show at Genesse thrilled us beyond belief! Not only is parking a breeze , the theater is beautiful and the shows always incredible! Steve Tyrell was no exception to the rule! He walked us through the old standards and the new ones, giving us personal stories and anecdotes....then sang songs to match the genre he was speaking about. The crowd loved him and we also loved the talented musicians who accompanied him. We are so lucky to have this gem in our own backyard!

Steve Tyrell was an amazing singer and performer. He was not only able to sing a variety of songs ranging from the 1940's to 1990's but had a fantastic band of musicians backing him up. I enjoyed his stories about all of the famous musicians that he has worked with throughout his career. The only complaint I have is that the show was too short! (about 1 and a half hours without an intermission) However, well worth seeing!

The show was great! He is such a great singer!!! Would love to see him again!!!

Steve Tyrell's concert was SO enjoyable - laid back and thoroughly wonderful!

I've loved Steve Tyrell since I heard him in the "Father of the Bride" movies. I've bought each of his albums and always wished I could see him at the Carlyle in NYC but it's too expensive. So I jumped at the opportunity to see him in Alexandria, and it was the best-spent money! He sounded even better live than on CD and was very comfortable in front of the crowd (although I was probably the only person who was less than 60 years old who wasn't wait staff). He was gracious enough to take photos and sign CD's following the concert. Definitely a must-see!

Steve said that Friday night was the 8th or 9th time he has appeared at the Birchmere. We can recall missing just one of his shows and that was in 2005 when were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary in Hawaii. He is a terrific performer and we will be there anytime he appears at the Birchmere.

This is our 3rd visit to see Steve Tyrell at the Birchmere. We love the intimate setting and Steve Tyrell is a great entertainer.

Steve Tyrell is really terrific. I have heard him before and I highly recommend him. Danielle, the first act was horrible. So loud and out of tune that I had a head ache. The food is really average.

Loved the concert. The venue did not make it clear what a gold ticket means. I did not realize I had to get there early in order to secure a table

This is a new show from last year in that he presents his new offerings featuring the songs of Sammy Cahn. I can't say enough how wonderful this show was, a true entertainer, bringing his best to give enjoyment to those of us that love the great American Songbook. He capped the evening off with an ovation singing "The Way You Look Tonight". A grand time was had by all. Thank you, Mr. Tyrell.

Love, Love, Love seeing Steve and the band. Especially love hearing Lew's horn.

Steve Tyrell is a superb entertainer, and featured his new cover of the songs of Sammy Cahn. This is a great collection of tunes, and Steve does a fabulous rendition. Don't miss the opportunity to see him on this swing through the east coast!

Steve Tyrell is a musician's musician. He clearly loves and respects the music of the American Songbook. His latest performance at the Birchmere highlighted the songs of Sammy Cahn (his new CD) and included anecdotes about the songwriter and how the songs came about. This look behind the scenes was great fun. Tyrell is very talented as are the musicians he plays with. His interpretations are personal, feeling, and intimate. They will touch your heart. If you want a memorable, romantic night out, go see Steve Tyrell. You'll be glad you did.

Steve Tyrell has been one of my favorite performers for over fifteen years. He includes something for everyone in his act and is not "stingy" in pleasing all. I am a fan of the "Great American Songbook," and consider Steve one of the best interpretors of this genre. But, his renditions of the music of the rhythm and blues era is on the mone as well. During his show, he will relate personal stories of the history of the music he is performing and includes the audience in his show. He is approachable and always includes the audience in his show. His show is a "don't miss."

Steve has an incredible voice and sound, and his selection from the Great American Songbook was fantastic. I will definitely go back and see him again.

Mr. Tyrell is somewhat of a throwback to the rat pack time. He did a really nice night club-type show at the Birchmere, something a little different from the usual type of show at that venue. He was very engaging, full of personality, and performed many time-honored classics.

Steve Tyrell never ceases to amaze me. His voice is as strong and enchanting as the first concert 7 years ago. The background stories about the songs, songwriters and singers make Steve stand far above other performers. I do wish though Keswick would ask unruly patrons and those using flash photography to leave.

he's a sane,good looking(he's wm. peterson - csi) husky throated, version of the terrific mark murphy

Is a good show, I come from Venezuela to California for visiting and included this show in the schedule and realy enjoy its, I recomend it

This Man is a great singer much like Frank S. he does tunesby many of the best writers and composers,Cole Porter for one and many others !!!!!

Awesome! Better than exected. Loved the way he interacted with audience and told personal story of why Birchmere so special to him.

Thank you Steve and Birchmere for a great date night! Hope to see you back next year!
