Vibrant, engaging performances feature the music of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Michael Buble, Nat King Cole, and Harry Connick, Jr., to name just a few. Check out his bold interpretation of a song like “Mack the Knife” or the delight and humor of “That’s Amore.” It translates. His voice is in another league.

Barron, a classically trained singer, grew up in Santa Monica, California, amidst the influences of his opera-singing mother and family friends such as Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra. His family was intimately connected to the heavyweights of the era. Barron’s godfather, Barron Hilton, got Sinatra to perform at JFK’s Democratic Convention in Beverly Hills.  Barron’s father, Geary Steffen, was married to Jane Powell who danced and sang in some of MGM’s top musicals such as Royal Wedding with Fred Astaire.

Barron’s own music career began in Italy, where his hit single “It’s Not Really Over” reached number 17 on the billboard charts. Back in the U.S., Barron’s band was recognized as one of L.A.’s top 10 unsigned. Barron’s Big Band returned him to his roots in the American standards, quickly establishing him as a top tier player with repeat performances at the Governor’s Ball of New Mexico, The Four Seasons Hotel, and frequent multi-national corporate events.

NOTE: This artist and band can be hired to travel to any location.

Simply stated, Barron Steffen’s music brings the romantic American music standards to life. Professional, flexible, Barron’s talent and performances offer a rare opportunity to experience this music in a way seldom seen, today. Add a 3 or 5-piece horn section for a true Big Band sound and the atmosphere can effortlessly move from intimate to electric, depending upon the needs of your evening.

The band can appear as quintet (stand-up bass, piano, drums, vocals, with one horn added), 7-piece (Little Big Band: 3 horns added), and 10-piece (Big Band sound: 5 horns and guitar added). It adds quite a different degree of thrill to experience this genre of music at those levels, and it definitely has everyone up dancing. To meet a specific budget, we can also look at reducing the number of players or restructuring the time played. We have almost always been able to meet a client’s needs and budget once we have spoken together about the options available for providing you with your ideal evening. We also travel to your events that are out of state with appropriate lodging and travel.

There is no other band in the area but ours that can do the great American songbook, standards music, at a level that is commensurate with Sinatra, Buble, and Connick.
