Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday earlier this month has prompted a flood of live shows, recorded tributes and other Sinatra celebrations. But we are saving the best for last. Steven Maglio, the New York City singer who is generally acknowledged as the best in the business, will be here for one night only.
His Saturday night shows at The Carnegie Club in New York are legendary and he is rightfully proud of being the longest running nightclub show in the city. We’re bringing Steven in on Tuesday, Jan. 12 for a special performance with his band.

For more on Steven, here’s a personal bio he prepared that tells his story:
Steven Maglio
I was born in East Harlem, N.Y. on December 25, 1958. In 1966, we moved to the Bronx, and being the new kid on the block, I walked back and forth to school
alone for the first few weeks. I heard Frank Sinatra singing “My Kind Of Town,” and to pass the time on my new daily trek, I would sing the song to myself over
and over. After a few days, I decided I needed another song and began to explore the only Sinatra album we owned at the time, “A Man And His Music.” This was
the beginning of my addiction, not only to Sinatra, but to that whole world of standard songs and singers.
It wasn’t until age 43, after eight years of secretly taking voice lessons and one year of cruising the New Jersey karaoke circuit, that I made my professional
debut at New York City’s “Tavern On The Green,” as male vocalist with Joe Battaglia & The New York Big Band. Since then, I’ve performed from
Atlantic City to Las Vegas, from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, and from Nashville to Guayaquil, Ecuador.
In 2004, I started performing Frank Sinatra tribute shows at The Carnegie Club in New York, and I’m still singing there every Saturday evening. I’ve had the
pleasure of entertaining Vic Damone, Connie Francis, Donald Trump, Steve Tyrell, Tony Danza, Lisa Lampanelli, Jackie Mason, Rhea Perlman, Danny DeVito,
William Shatner, Brad Garrett, Dennis Farina, The Kennedy Family, and most of the cast of “The Sopranos,” just to name a few. As well as multiple sports figures,
politicians, business moguls, and members of the press.
I’ve had the honor of sharing the stage with The Duke Ellington Orchestra, Frankie Valli, Danny Aiello, Deana Martin, Bucky Pizzarelli, Pat Cooper,
The Spinners, Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge, and with Frank Sinatra’s former pianist/conductor, Vincent Falcone, among others.
I’ve appeared in the movies, “Frank & Alice,” “Once Upon A Time In Brooklyn,” “Once More With Feeling,” and the music video “For One More Day.”
I’ve also sung “The Tender Trap” on the soundtrack of “My Best Friend’s Girl.” In the Off-Broadway play, “Playing Sinatra,” my recordings of 11 popular Sinatra
songs were used to replace the originals.
Special highlights in my career were releasing the CD, “Songs For Sinatra Lovers,” being the co-writer and official singer of “The Danny DeVito Limoncello Song,”
used to promote the lemon flavored liquore that bore Danny DeVito’s signature, joining the all-star cast of The Cannolis television show, and becoming a member
of the most prestigious organization in show business, The Friars Club. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m far from being finished.
The most common compliment paid to me is,
“If Frank Sinatra heard the way you sing his songs …. he’d be proud.”
I hope that’s true.
