An Intimate Evening with Alfie Zappacosta

Experience an intimate look at the artist and his songs (including tasteful renditions of his many hits), an evening of entertainment that will not be easy to forget. The effect will linger long after you have left the performance. Juno-winning, platinum-selling artist Alfie Zappacosta now in the fifth decade of his career has released his 2021 album Saved, confirming that he is an artist at the top of his game, as a singer, a songwriter and producer. There is that rich soaring voice that has always been his signature, one that has improved with age, gaining a new degree of resonance evident on the album. The musically eclectic Saved draws from pop, jazz, gospel, and rock elements, and reflects Zappacosta's current mandate. He explains in his press bio that “I’m a writer and I like to write as many different kinds of songs as I can. Once upon a time, record labels would want you to have a certain style so they knew how to market you, but now I can do anything I want.” “For the last six records I’ve made, I realised I had nothing to lose, so I took the bull by the horns. I am very much in control of what I do these days. Now, ‘it’s just shut up and go to work,’ plus I’m completely comfortable with everyone I work with.” Zappacosta was named Most Promising Artist at the 1988 Juno Awards, and he won a second Juno, Album of The Year, for his hit second record, A-Z. He then found multiplatinum success with Overload, a song he co-wrote with Marco Luciani and recorded for the soundtrack of the Patrick Swayze movie, Dirty Dancing. That album sold over 42 million copies, and earned Zappacosta an American Music Award.” – Jerry Doole FYI Music News
