here<\/a> for tickets<\/strong><\/p>\nJoin us for an intimate evening with multi Juno and American Music Award winner Alfie Zappacosta, featuring jazz pianist Justin Glibbery. Italian born, Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer Alfie Zappacosta digs deep into his own heart and translates those emotions into imaginative literary and philosophical\u00a0 insights. Alfie delivers a sophisticated and unforgettable performance of rich soaring vocals and captivating melodies, drawing from jazz, pop and rock elements.
\nIn the fifth decade of his career he is passionate about his craft as he continues to write, record and perform for discerning audiences across Canada. Alfie\u2019s 16th album, Saved, was released in 2021 by Alma Records, from soulful and romantic to upbeat and jazzy.
\n\u201cI consider myself a bit of a troubadour …telling stories, anything from life to deep love. I\u2019ll continue writing for the rest of my life and perform as long as I\u2019m physically capable.\u201d – Alfie
\nAlfie\u2019s vocal dexterity and song writing proficiency was uncovered by a publisher while writing for his first original band \u201cSurrender, a five-piece group that recorded three albums in the late 1970s into the early 1980s. As a solo artist Alfie’s career took off with a legacy of hits that brought him to the world’s attention. “Start Again\u201d, \u201cPassion\u201d, \u201cWhen I Fall in Love Again\u201d and \u201cNothing Can Stand In
\nYour Way\u201d written with David Foster. In 1988 he was awarded JUNOs for \u201cAlbum of The Year\u2019 and \u201cMost Promising Artist\u201d, and American Music Award for \u201cMost Popular Album of The Year\u201d. These hit songs were originally written for acoustic and jazz presentations. Writing for radio began to rub against Alfie\u2019s musical integrity and he became frustrated with the demands of music trends. Alfie broke from the stereotype and began to write the lyrics and melodies that were authentically him, revealing his insight into relationships and his advanced knowledge of music.<\/p>\n
