Following the success of their charity concert at The Abbey in Orlando, Florida in May, TREMONTI SINGS SINATRA is coming to London.
Performing for one night only, GRAMMY® Award Winning musician, producer, author and founding member of rock juggernauts Alter Bridge, Creed, and Tremonti, Mark Tremonti will treat fans to an evening of Sinatra classics at indigO2 on Thursday, 15th December. Joined by surviving members of Frank Sinatra’s US and UK touring line-up, it promises to be a night to remember.
Whereas the US performance raised funds for NDSS (National Down Syndrome Society), all proceeds from this performance will benefit UK-based charity DSI (Down Syndrome International), to ensure more local beneficiaries.
Tickets for the all-seated concert go on sale at 10am BST on Friday, 15th July here, with an artist pre-sale preceding tomorrow, priced £32.50, £45, and £55 (+fees).
For such a special event, fans are strongly encouraged to dress to impress and come in smart attire, to befit the occasion.
TREMONTI SINGS SINATRA has shared 4 videos from the studio recordings: I’ve Got You Under My Skin, I Fall In Love Too Easily, Fly Me To The Moon, and My Way.
On May 27th, Mark Tremonti, together with surviving members of Frank Sinatra’s orchestra, released an album of new takes on some of the classics and some deeper cuts from Frank’s catalogue under the moniker TREMONTI SINGS SINATRA. All proceeds support NDSS and the work they do to advocate for and support individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Mark and his family were blessed to welcome their first daughter Stella in March 2021 – who was born with Down syndrome – and the idea for the project was born.
From the opening horns and piano of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” to final vocal outro of “All Or Nothing At All,” Mark Tremonti showcases the signature vocal approach and exemplary musicianship that made Sinatra’s work timeless. To see his vision through, Mark reached out to Frank Sinatra’s musical director Mike Smith who collected as many remaining members as possible of Frank’s touring band to record the music for Tremonti Sings Sinatra. Where sadly, some members have passed away, the orchestra was completed by a cast of stellar musicians, between them known for playing with Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Lady Gaga, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Barbra Streisand, Dizzy Gillespie, and more. The album was recorded at Chicago’s Palisade Studios and Crystall Recorders, with arrangements from Mike Smith and Carey Deadman.
Popular standards like “I’ve Got The World On A String,” “My Way” and “That’s Life” find new life in the hands of these incredible musicians. Mark Tremonti – known for his guitar work that has won him countless accolades – leaves the instrument behind and just sings on the 14-track album. The artwork on the album cover is an original painting that Tremonti created especially for this project.

Some quotes about Tremonti Sings Sinatra:
“Mark did a fantastic job on this record, his voice and take on the tunes are amazing!” – Hank Cattaneo (Frank Sinatra – Duets Producer)
“I think it’s like bar none the best Frank Sinatra cover I’ve ever heard.” – Carson Daly on NBC News TODAY
“Mark’s take on Sinatra is nothing short of uncanny. I could never have expected one of my fave metal guitarists to do such faithful renditions of Sinatra classics. Not only instrumentally, but vocally! & these recordings are for a cause near & dear to my heart; I was very close to an uncle who had Down Syndrome when I was growing up. I fully appreciate & support Mark’s commitment to NDSS.” – Slash (Guns N Roses)
“Holy Shit, I knew Mark was a ripping guitar player, but no way did I ever have a notion that he had golden pipes as well!!! Totally blown away, totally into it, let’s hear more Mark!!!” – Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
“When Mark first played me a track from this project my jaw dropped. Gave me chills! This is a side of Mark’s voice that people need to hear and I’m certain they will be just as blown away as I was.” – Chris Daughtry (Daughtry)
“Wow! I am absolutely blown away by Mark’s performance on this album!! He delivers the songs authentically, embodying all that is Frank but giving us a glimpse of his own personality as well. I love the arrangements and the fact that some of Frank’s original band members contributed to these tracks. Honestly, I’ve known Mark for a long time and know he is super talented but had no idea he was capable of channelling Old’ Blue Eyes like that! Just absolutely beautifully done and what makes everything even that much more touching is the cause. I bet Mark’s daughter Stella was in his heart during every step of the recording processes. Incredible!” – John Petrucci (Dream Theater)
“Once again Mark Tremonti never ceases to amaze me. These renditions of some of the most beloved Sinatra tunes, are so eloquently done that it is remarkable. And what a beautiful gift to the NDSS. Much love, respect, and success to this incredible project”. – Brent Smith (Shinedown)
