Singer and pianist Harry Connick Jr. will bring his "My New Orleans" Tour to the Fox Theatre in St. Louis on Saturday, March 17.Connick and his big band will be performing music from two new CDs focusing on New Orleans. The first, Oh, My Nola, due in stores this month, includes the single ''All These People'' which was released this past summer and was inspired by Connick's experiences after Hurricane Katrina. The second, Chanson du Vieux Carre, will be released later this year and is described as "an equally heartfelt tribute album to New Orleans that includes originals as well as standards displaying the jazz tradition of the city."
As you might expect for an event at the Fox, tickets for the show are pricey, starting at $42.50 and going as high as $75.50, plus service charges. They go on sale via Metrotix at 10 a.m. this Saturday, January 20.
For a taste of Connick's big band work - albeit one from a while back - check out the video clip below, which shows him performing the standard "All of Me" at a 1992 concert in New York.
