Harry Connick, Jr. : A Holiday Celebration

Tue, 12/04/08
07:30 PM
NJPAC (Prudential Hall)
Newark, NJ

Over the past two decades, Harry Connick, Jr. has proven to be among the world’s most successful and multi-talented artists. Connick first reached a mass audience as a pianist, singer and bandleader, securing his place in the public eye as a renaissance man and versatile entertainer. His love of music and performing dates back to his childhood in New Orleans, where he studied piano with such luminaries as James Booker and Ellis Marsalis. He first performed publicly at age five, appeared on his first jazz recording at age ten, and released his self-titled major label debut for Columbia Records at 19, only a year after his high school graduation and his move to New York City.

Connick achieved widespread success as a musician when director Rob Reiner asked him to contribute the score to his 1989 smash When Harry Met Sally, leading to Connick’s first multi-platinum album.

This holiday concert will include selections from Connick’s upcoming CD, What a Night! A Christmas Album, which features classics like “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” and “Winter Wonderland” as well as several new tracks written by Connick.
