It's that time of the year again- Vocalist Steve Tyrell is ringing in the holidays at The Cafe Carlyle.
Continuing through New Years Eve, this is the Grammy-winner's seventh return engagement at the chic nightspot.
After the passing of the legendary Bobby Short, The Café Carlyle invited Steve to take over their revered Holiday Season which Mr. Short had not missed in 36 years.  

In his four and a half decades in the music business, Steve Tyrell has achieved great success as an artist, producer, songwriter, music supervisor, and performer gaining a passionate following all over the world. 

As a record producer, Steve has collaborated with such diverse artists as Rod Stewart, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Smokey Robinson, Linda Ronstadt, Aaron Neville, Mary J Blige, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, Burt Bacharach, Bette Midler and Stevie Wonder.

Steve is a great friend and supporter of Jimmy McHugh Music, performing numerous McHugh standards in concert and on record.

We suggest you book a reservation soon as the word is out:

A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening



Jimmy McHugh & Bobby Darin
One summer night in 1959, at The Hollywood Bowl, Bobby Darin headlined a salute to the music of Jimmy McHugh. It was called I Feel a Song Coming On.

The 21-year old wunderkind had just exploded onto the national scene, winning Record of the Year for his breakthrough hit, Mack The Knife, at the first ever Grammy Awards Ceremony.

Bobby sang I Feel A Song Comin' On, On The Sunny Side Of The Street, Comin' In On A Wing And A Prayer, I Won't Dance, I Can't Give You Anything But Love, I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night and Let's Get Lost.


Conductor Buddy Bregman led the mammoth 105 piece orchestra, which included a 55 member string section!

Rounding out the salute to Jimmy’s music was Vic Damone and the gorgeous Italian actress and singer Anna Maria Alberghetti. Among the McHugh songs they performed was Can't Get Out Of This Mood, When You and I Were Young Maggie Blues and When My Sugar Walks Down The Street.

The show ended with Jimmy Bobby, Vic and Anna Marie singing A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening.

Indeed it was.
