Harry Connick Jr. was born in New Orleans in 1967 and started playing in local venues with his own band by the time he was 16. His self-titled debut album came out in 1987, followed by '20' in 1988 and 'Blue Light, Red Light' in 1989.
He's recorded songs like 'I Could Write a Book,' 'Stardust,' and 'All These Things,' often working with a band that has included musicians like Neal Evans on bass and Mark Whitfield on guitar. In the early 2000s, he dealt with some vocal issues that led to canceled shows, but he returned to performing after recovering.
Connick has released nearly thirty studio albums, ranging from jazz standards to pop and Broadway material. Albums like 'She' in 1994, 'Come By Me' in 1999, and 'True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter' in 2019 show his continued work across different styles without sticking to one formula.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
