Jonny Hirsch is one of New York City's most intriguing solo artists. A multi-dimensional frontman, leading the show with his voice and saxophone, Jonny has played shows and festivals up and down the east coast from the CMJ Music Festival to the Cape May Jazz Festival to Oswego Harborfest as well as an appearance on DMX’s last album “Year of the Dog…Again.” His album Live From The Batcave was featured on over 150 radio stations across North America.

The singer/saxophonist is often compared to the likes of Steely Dan and Jamiroquai. Fusing elements of rock, funk, jazz, and skat singing with a powerful voice and a dynamic saxophone, Jonny’s music has an original sound of its own, while staying true to its roots in new age blues and funk. This versatile composer and lyricist pays tribute to the great traditions of American rock and blues in his song writing, while the live show incorporates more improvisation.

Jonny Hirsch’s journey to the live stage and recording studio started in high school, working for New York City’s top promoter Delsener/Slater (Live Nation). In his late teens and early twenties, Jonny was working live events backstage at Jones Beach Theater, Roseland Ballroom, and Madison Square Garden for performers like Madonna, Van Halen, and Barenaked Ladies, while spending his daytime hours in the corporate office assisting the production and promotion of live events. In college, he continued working with the same promoter, while developing his own musical talents onstage and in the recording studio. By the time he was a senior at The George Washington University, he had played on almost every big stage in Washington DC, including a invitational performance at a Presidential Inauguration Ball.
