Steve Swings
BACK TO LISTING

Steve Doolan is one of the best and most versatile Jazz/Swing Vocalists to come out of South-Wales in recent years. For the past 5 years, he has been providing a ” Jazz/Swing Vocal Tribute “, which incorporates a varied selection of the fantastic timeless songs from the Great American Songbook….Sinatra, Bennett, Elling, Buble, Beatles, Anka, Stevie, Legend, Porter, Jackson..etc.

Whether it’s a beautiful haunting ballad with just a tinkling piano in the background, or perhaps a full up-tempo big band Swinging/Jazz Standard, then Steve Doolan will deliver it in his own cool, immicable, witty, laid back style with his silky smooth rich Baritone chocolate voice.

Steve performs regularly at various local venues and private bookings either as a solo artist or with his band “The Steve Doolan Quartet”. He also sings as a front man with a 17 piece swinging big band called The Liberty Big Band from South Wales performing classic big band tunes by Basie, Miller, Goodman, Riddle, Ellington etc.
