Pianist-entertainer Chris Autore is marking an extraordinary 75 years in show business with a special performance of Look at Me Now on Wednesday, November 5 at 7 PM at Don’t Tell Mama. He’ll be backed by a three-piece band led by pianist Ike Reeves.
Autore features a vibrant mix of pop and Broadway hits from 1950 to the present day. He’ll share a special piece of history from the 1950s when he was a cast member on the “The Horn and Hardart Children’s Hour” at NBC studios, New York, as well as career highlights playing alongside the likes of Tallulah Bankhead, Connie Francis, Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Fisher, Bernadette Peters, Carol King and many more.
Cutting his first record in 1950 at the age of three, resulted from his grandmother teaching him how to sing in Italian. By the age of four, he was playing piano by ear, leading to his parent’s proactive support of his entrance into show business. Other highlights in the show center around Autore as a musician, singer, dancer, director, creator, husband and Dad who shares how he navigated the challenges of the music industry.
