Harry Connick, Jr. Tickets

Harry Connick Jr. is a singer, composer, and actor who has earned more number one albums on the US Jazz chart than any other artist in history. With over millions of albums sold worldwide, he is considered one of the best-selling artists in the US.

A musical prodigy, Harry Connick Jr. started playing piano at the tender age of 3, and by the time he was 5, he was performing in public. At age 10, the talented young pianist recorded with a local jazz band, and eventually was featured in a Japanese documentary called Jazz Around the World. He studied at the prestigious New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, then moved to New York City and signed with Columbia Records. His first record was a collection of instrumental standards played on piano, but when his next album, 20, included his smooth vocals, Harry Connick Jr. found himself in the spotlight, catching the attention of director Rob Reiner. In 1989, Reiner tapped Connick to record the soundtrack for When Harry Met Sally, which earned Harry Connick Jr. his first Grammy Award for Best Jazz Male Vocal Performance. That led Connick to make his on-screen debut the following year on Memphis Belle. That role snowballed into several television and film appearances, propelling the talented singer into superstardom and making him a household name.

Harry Connick Jr. has had an amazing career, from jazz lounges to Broadway and television to film. After a successful run as a guest judge on the 2010 and 2013 seasons of American Idol, Connick became a regular judge on the show from 2014 to 2016. After his stint on American Idol, Harry Connick Jr. became the host of his own talk show, Harry, which ran from 2016 to 2018. The show earned him five Daytime Emmy Award nominations.
