Antonia Bennett carries one of the most storied names in American music, and she has spent her career making it clear that she earned her place in the lineage rather than inherited it. The daughter of Tony Bennett studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, toured extensively with her father, and developed her own voice — warm, technically assured, and rooted in the classic American songbook tradition he embodied.
Her Daryl’s House show on June 17 is an opportunity to hear that voice in one of the Hudson Valley’s finest small rooms. Daryl’s House in Pawling, NY seats a few hundred people in a setting where every seat is a good one, and it has hosted legendary artists since Daryl Hall opened it as a venue extension of his beloved concert series. Jazz and sophisticated pop vocal performance are exactly what the room was built for.
Bennett draws from the American songbook, from classic jazz standards, and increasingly from her own artistic perspective — she has worked to establish herself as a bandleader and musical personality rather than simply a famous name. Expect an evening of genuine musicianship, not celebrity nostalgia.
Doors at 7:00 PM. Tickets on sale now via TicketWeb. A June evening at Daryl’s House with Antonia Bennett is the kind of show that reminds you what live music is for.
