July 6, 2015"Get (T)here If You Can"......
In the words of composer Brenda Russell, if you hear that Stephen Fuller is in concert....you owe it to yourself to "Get Here if You Can." Your eyes, soul and listening mind will sparkle with every single note. Stephen Fuller is pure polish. If you have enjoyed the sounds of the greats - Jon Lucien, Nat King Cole, or Johnny Hartman, then you will love the artistry of Stephen Fuller. Influenced by his predecessors, and a master of the ballad, Fuller's rich baritone voice, is only transcended by his charismatic personality. Stephen Fuller is most noted as a Jazz singer. However, he is quite fluent in blues and pop. Many of Stephen Fuller's shows include familiar magical Caribbean melodies. His line up of tunes, and personnel -usually a quartet, are exciting and a compliment to Mr. Fuller's class act.

Additional booking notes
I primarily work with piano, bass and drums. However, I frequently work with very talented violinists, guitarists, horn players and percussionists. In addition, some performances lend themselves to the use of tracks when there are budget constraints. I would be happy to discuss the make up of the band to meet your needs.
