Steven Davis loves a good love song. A singer/songwriter of romantic songs in the tradition of the great American singers, he is celebrating the release of his CD, “What Happened To Romance” with new standards he co-wrote with hit writer/producers Josh Charles and Alissa Moreno of the 88’s including “Love Comes Right On Time” and “What Happened to Romance.” The album was recorded in New York City with Andy Farber and the After Midnight Orchestra featuring original members of the Count Basie and Duke Ellington band.

Stephen Holden of the New York Times praised Davis’ work writing, “Were there more singers of Mr. Davis’s ilk, the kind of romance he envisages might well be on the rise again. Steven Davis unabashedly exalts the elegant glamour of another time. ”

Journalist Rex Reed opined, “Where will tomorrow’s Tormes, Tony Bennett’s and Albert Francis Sinatra’s come from? Steven Davis is a start!”

“I’m steeped in the big band sound and I love it,” Davis said. “It’s my lane. I think in life everyone should find out what they do best and singing this music is what I do best.”

Davis hails from Kansas City and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska where he was immersed in music at a very early age. His roots include singing in church at age five. After high school, he moved to Los Angeles to sing in clubs while also cutting his teeth as an actor. His work has also taken him to stages across the world including time spent living in New York City. Following in the footsteps of his musical icons, Bennett and Rosemary Clooney, he has headlined at the pinnacle of nightclubs, The Rainbow and Stars in Rockefeller Center. He was also the bandleader, host and singer at the iconic The Rainbow Room in New York City.

In 2014, after recovering from what doctors said could be a debilitating throat injury that required him to live without speaking or singing for long periods of time over the course of a year, he proved them wrong and returned to full voice for his new CD, “What Happened To Romance.”
