Cabaret master Steve Ross returns to the SPAC Cabaret Series!

Steve Ross rose to fame as a cabaret entertainer during his lengthy sojourns at New York’s fabled Algonquin Hotel and Ted Hook’s Backstage in the late 1970′s. He has spent the ensuing decades singing and playing in smart clubs and swank parties all over the world. The Ritz in London, the Crillon in Paris and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, in addition to festivals in Hong Kong, Perth and Spoleto – these are but highlights of Steve’s appearances on six continents.

On the air-waves Steve has been the performer/host for radio series for both the BBc and National Public Radio. In 1992 he was voted outstanding singer-instrumentalist by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets. Also in that year Steve made his Off-Broadway debut in his own tribute to Fred Astaire, I WON’T DANCE. He continues to tour in solo concerts, master classes, theatrical engagements and symphonic Pops appearances.

What People Are Saying About Steve Ross

“The personification of the spirit of Cole Porter.”
- The New Yorker

“Ross is a smoothly appealing light baritone and a pianist of nuance and flourish. Approaching his repertoire with a fierce dedication to a song’s intent, he never toys with an original lyric. He sings them they way they were written; the polish comes in his keenly structured phrasing.”
- Robert L. Daniels, Variety

“Steve Ross is an American cabaret treasure…”
-The Siegels’ Column, Manhattan
