Harry Connick, Jr. January 23, 2010

He’s an actor, a humanitarian, but most of all, Harry Connick, Jr. is a musician – a Grammy Award-winning singer and pianist. Harry Connick, Jr. will be trading in his recent appearances on the “Rachel Ray Show,” “Ellen” and “Tavis Smiley” to embark on his 2010 tour, and he will kick it off with a much-anticipated concert at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, January 23rd. The show takes place in the resort’s Special Events Center at 8:00p.m. Tickets are $59-$129 and go on sale Friday, December 4th at 10:00a.m. Tickets may be purchased online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com, via telephone at (800) 827-2946 or in person at the Special Events Center Box Office.

Connick released his latest album “Your Songs” in September 2009. It features jazz heavyweights Branford and Wynton Marsalis, and on the European album release, France’s first lady, Carla Bruni. Harry Connick, Jr. is said to have begun playing keyboards at the age of three. Many say his “big break” came when movie director Rob Reiner asked Connick to record the soundtrack for “When Harry Met Sally.” He went on to record 21 more albums to date, as well as star in multiple motion pictures and television shows. Harry Connick, Jr. has won three Grammy Awards and one Emmy Award. He has seven top-20 U.S. albums, and ten number one U.S. jazz albums, earning more number one albums than any other artist in the U.S. jazz chart history.
