Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett is an artist who moves the hearts and touches the souls of audiences. With worldwide record sales in the millions, and dozens of platinum and gold albums to his credit, Tony has received 15 Grammy Awards including the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. “Tony Bennett has not just bridged the generation gap,” observed The New York Times, “he has demolished it. He has solidly connected with a younger crowd weaned on rock. And there have been no compromises.” Tony Bennett became a Kennedy Center Honoree in 2005, and was named an NEA Jazz Master in January of 2006 and was also named the recipient of Billboard magazine’s elite Century Award, in honor of his outstanding contributions to music.
