Event Description
Two time Juno award and American Music Award winner singer songwriter Alfie Zappacosta delivers a performance like no other. A sophisticated musician with international poise Alfie sings in both English and Italian; studied in jazz and classical guitar. He is a virtuoso composer and seasoned live performer. Alfie's rich soaring vocals have always been his signature and his songs diverse drawing from pop, jazz and rock elements.
With five decades of unwavering commitment to his craft, Alfie continues to create music that is both richly complex and profoundly impactful, shaping songs that linger, resonate, and speak directly to the hearts and souls of his audience.
Evident in his 16th album, Saved, released in 2021 on Alma Records, his music moves effortlessly from soulful and romantic to upbeat and jazzy. Building on that momentum, 2026 marks another productive chapter, with his 17th album set for release and a recent performance at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Alfie's vocal dexterity and song writing proficiency was uncovered by a publisher while writing for his first original band "Surrender, a five-piece group that recorded three albums in the late 1970s into the early 1980s.
As a solo artist, Alfie's career took off with a string of enduring hits that brought him to international attention, including "Start Again," "Passion," "When I Fall in Love Again," and "Nothing Can Stand In Your Way," co-written with David Foster. In 1988, he was honoured with JUNO Awards for Album of the Year and Most Promising Artist, along with an American Music Award for Most Popular Album of the Year. Further cementing his global reach, Alfie penned and performed "Overload" exclusively for the multi-platinum Dirty Dancing soundtrack.
These hit songs were originally written for acoustic and jazz presentations. Writing for radio began to rub against Alfie's musical integrity and he became frustrated with the demands of music trends. Alfie broke from the stereotype and began to write the lyrics and melodies that were authentically him.
