STEVE LIPPIA has become one of the most prominent, in-demand vocalists and has quickly established his place among the finest interpreters of “standards” and traditional pop music in the nation. STEVE’S youthful, energetic talent and powerful show creates a perfect blend of “classic” with “today”. His show introduces a new generation to this timeless music, while appealing to long-time listeners.

STEVE has headlined in highly successful, extended engagements at the RIO SUITES HOTEL AND CASINO in Las Vegas and RESORTS HOTEL AND CASINO in Atlantic City, where SRO audiences lined up more than two hours before show time to vie for seating. He has performed in multiple engagements for Hilton Atlantic City and Casino Windsor, among others.

STEVE has recently performed to sold-out audiences with many major symphonies across North America, to name just a few, Peter Nero and Philly Pops, Toronto, Rochester Philharmonic, Palm Beach Pops, Indianapolis, Oregon, Irving, Austin, Calgary, Naples Philharmonic, Tacoma, Alabama, Greensboro, Hilton Head, North Carolina, Tacoma, Winnipeg, Tucson, Duluth-Superior, Allentown, Lexington, Grand Rapids, Louisiana Philharmonic, Brampton, Colorado, York, Jacksonville, Edmonton, Vancouver, Charlotte, York, Bowling Green, Danville, Virginia, Fort Worth, Shreveport, North Arkansas, Corpus Christi, Kansas City, Cleveland Pops, Mississippi, Chattanooga, Missouri, Southwest Michigan and Brampton-Ontario.

He currently has signed contracts with symphonies for the 2010-2011 season with  West Michigan, Knoxville, San Antonio, Winston-Salem, Ocean City Pops, Tucson, Portland, Louisville, Richmond, Napa, Duluth-Superior and Evansville.

In testimonials, directors write:

  • “…the best POPS concert they had ever seen anywhere in the country.”
  • “We are still receiving calls from our POPS subscribers…”
  • “Almost a year before the date, a fan called to purchase tickets.”
  • “…we were able to cut marketing and advertising during the last two weeks because we had already sold out!”
  • “…extremely well run show that brought the audience to its feet for two sold-out performances.”
  • “Steve is an excellent singer and entertainer and the quality of his performance was first-rate. The crowd loved him…”
  • “…Steve was a knockout. His show was everything advertised and much more.”

  Mythbusters

Myth #1. Symphony Concerts are not affordable. In fact, you can get tickets for as low as $7 per ticket!

Myth #2. Symphony Concerts are boring. Symphony music is some of the most exciting and dramatic music ever written. That's why so many movie scores are inspired by symphonic classics.

Myth #3. Concerts are stuffy and long. Our typical concerts are less than two hours and have an upbeat, multi-media approach.

Myth #4. You have to wear a suit and a tie to go to a concert. Come as you like. Some folks like to dress up, others prefer a more casual look. Myth #5. You can only applaud at certain times. We love your applause!
