What Others Are Saying...
"Tony Aiardo's voice has the richness of a Luther Vandross, and the elegance of Lou Rawls, but he has a style all his own."
Brian Keane
(Grammy, Emmy and multi award winning composer/ producer/ musician; scored 350 films, 100 CD's and 21 Billboard Top 10's -five #1's)
"Tony is an amazing musician. His voice has the timbre reminiscent of James Taylor and the phrasing of Michael McDonald. He is an accomplished pianist in all styles of music. Tony sings and plays with as much "real soul" as any musician I have ever worked with."
Dan Cipriano
(saxophone; Wilson Pickett, The Allman Brothers, Bruce Springsteen, Gary U.S. Bonds, Michael Bolton, Southside Johnny, George Thorogood, Paul Shaffer, Dicky Betts)
"Some of the finest talent comes out of New Haven! Tony Aiardo is a brilliant example of a diamond in the rough...excellent, voice, great energy, wonderful piano accompanist, and continually striving for greatness in all fields!"
Joey Melotti
(touring music director /keyboardist; Barry Manilow, Michael Bolton, Richie Lee Jones, Felix Caveliere, Eartha Kitt, Julio Inglesias, Vicki Sue Robinson)
"Tony Aiardo, a superb pianist/vocalist with a repertoire that spans decades and a vocal sound that reminds one of a duet with Lou Rawls and Michael McDonald. And when he's not singing, he's making magic with the ivories. A great musician."
Michael Terry
The Music Lab; producer, musician, arranger, Emmy award winning composer
"It has always been a pleasure to perform with Tony. I have known Tony for many years and not only do I respect him for his great musical abilities, I treasure his friendship. I look forward to the next performance we may have together with much eagerness."
Sal Giorgianni

"Tony’s musicianship layers equal amounts of excitement and control. He is always exploring, always searching, yet never in the dark. Whether singing or playing, Tony achieves the delicate balance to convey a mature sensitivity that captures the heart.”
