Tony and Grammy Award winner John Lloyd Young leaves virtually no stone unturned as he interprets the greatest hits of Little Anthony, The Platters, Sam Cooke, Smokey, Luther and, yes, some Jersey Boys, too. It's Mostly Soul!
John Lloyd Young originated the role of Frankie Valli in Broadway's Tony Award-winning Best Musical and international hit, JERSEY BOYS. For his performance as Valli, Mr. Young won the Lead Actor Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards, becoming the only American actor in history to win all four leading actor awards for a Broadway debut. He sings lead vocals on the Platinum, Grammy Award-winning JERSEY BOYS Original Cast Recording. Young re-created his Broadway turn onscreen for director Clint Eastwood in Warner Bros.' film adaptation of JERSEY BOYS.
Young's interpretations of classic favorites and genre-bending knockouts range from nostalgic pop and R&B to jazz, Broadway, and beyond. His five-star-rated solo album of R&B standards is MY TURN… (2014).
Mr. Young is a former presidentially appointed Member of Barack Obama's President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities.
