Biography

Tom Postilio just completed a critically acclaimed week-long engagement at New York's most renowned cabaret room, Feinstein's at Loews Regency. Currently a star of HGTV's top-rated reality series, Selling New York, Tom has been hailed as one of today's outstanding vocalists and preeminent torchbearers of the American popular songbook. For 18 months, Tom starred in the hit Off-Broadway musical revue, "Our Sinatra." In a feature story on CNN's Showbiz Today, reporter Bill Tush said, "The Sinatra torch is being passed on... Tom Postilio has found his own voice...he's drawing raves!"

At the age of 20, Tom was invited to tour internationally for a year as the featured vocalist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The tour included concerts throughout Europe, Asia and the U.S., culminating in a performance before 18,000 people at the Hollywood Bowl on a bill with the Tommy Dorsey and Count Basie Orchestras.

Tom's success catapulted with his auspicious night club debut in Manhattan. For two consecutive years at Tavern on the Green's Chestnut Room, he broke attendance records. In 1996, he was honored by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC) for Outstanding New York debut and received the BACK STAGE Bistro award for Outstanding Vocalist that same year.

Mr. Postilio has had two highly successful engagements at the Oak Room in New York's legendary Algonquin Hotel. Reviewing the Oak Room engagement, music critic Stephen Holden wrote in THE NEW YORK TIMES, "Mr. Postilio has a smooth, rich crooning voice that sends out an emotional current... handsome and charming with good taste in material... he knows how to swing."

Tom has performed throughout the country in theaters and nightclubs, from sold-out shows at San Francisco's Plush Room to the renowned Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, Long Island. Mr. Postilio has drawn rave reviews with some of the nation's top symphony orchestras, including the Honolulu Symphony, where he performed at their 100th Anniversary Gala. Following his three-night engagement with the Delaware Symphony at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, THE NEWS JOURNAL said, "Mr. Postilio barely had to walk on stage to pull the crowd into the palm of his hand, which is where they stayed as he brought song after song to life."
