GRAMMY-Winning Vocalist Steve Tyrell and BMI SHOF Inductees Celebrate That Lovin’ Feeling
The Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF) and BMI Foundation present an intimate evening with BMI songwriter and GRAMMY-winning vocalist Steve Tyrell and SHOF inductees Jeff Carry, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, and Mike Stoller, in celebration of Tyrell’s eleventh album release, That Lovin’ Feeling. Bringing deep-rooted friendships together with Steve’s performance will make for a very personal and spectacular evening of great storytelling and music history in the making. The event will take place on Wednesday, March 4th, 2015 at the GRAMMY Museum’s Clive Davis Theater in Los Angeles.
Tyrell has enjoyed a multi-faceted, five decade career as a solo artist and as a featured performer with symphony orchestras all across America. His version of “The Way You Look Tonight” in the 1991 film Father Of The Bride paved his way for an extraordinary career as a GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist/ producer. Tyrell has produced such renowned artists as Rod Stewart, B.J. Thomas, Diana Ross, Linda Ronstadt, Aaron Neville, Bonnie Raitt, Dolly Parton and Stevie Wonder, among so many others. Tyrell has worked as a music supervisor for films by Steven Spielberg, Steven Soderbergh, Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer. As a songwriter, Tyrell penned the #1 pop hit, “How Do You Talk To An Angel.” Most of his solo albums have gone top five on the Billboard Jazz Albums Chart, but he calls That Lovin’ Feeling, “the most fun album I have recorded to date…and it’s the closest to the real me.”
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $25. Tickets can be purchased at the GRAMMY Museum box office beginning Tuesday, February 10. All proceeds benefit The Songwriters Hall of Fame and the GRAMMY Museum’s educational programs. For more information, please call 213-765-6800 or visit grammymuseum.org.
