Singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger, composer, pop satirist and Academy Award winner are but a few of the titles that can be accurately bestowed on this unique gift to the American musical landscape. Mr. Newman began his musical journey as far back as the mid-sixties but although he scored his share of songwriting successes, he did not achieve popularity as a recording artist until 1977 with the somewhat uprising smash single “Short People” rocketed to #1 on the Billboard charts. A steady string of slightly skewed pop paeans to the unique American experience followed then peaked in 1983 when his enormously popular and typically twisted hit single “I Love L.A.” also went to #1 on the charts. In the decades that followed Mr. Newman has seen his musical mastery spread throughout the worlds of stage and screen as he has concentrated his considerable gifts into the realms of musical composition and scoring. Mr. Newman's music has been nominated for countless Academy Awards (winning in 2002 for Best Original Song- “If I didn't have you” Monsters inc.) and has also won Grammys (Cars, Toy Story 2, A Bugs Life), Emmys and Annies as well as a houseful of other accolades and it is very safe to state that movie or music lovers everywhere continue to cherish his quirky, kooky and strangely soothing melodies that have gone on to delight his many millions of fans and tug many millions of hearts across the globe. Randy Newman tickets continue to be highly sought after by music fans.
