A Holiday Extravaganza featuring the All-Star Horns and guest vocalists Barbara Ayars and Thea Enos — 2 shows — 2 PM & 5 PM

"It's a Tony Starlight Christmas" has been a Pacific Northwest holiday tradition for the last sixteen years, and this December it is being performed exclusively on the stage of The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts in Beaverton. If you haven’t seen this beautiful new venue, this show is the perfect time! Tony's Christmas show is a throwback to the classic television variety shows when legends like Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, and Frank Sinatra sang songs and spread holiday cheer far and wide. You can’t help but feel the warmth and glow of the season. "It’s a Tony Starlight Christmas" brings back these uplifting holiday traditions and puts a fresh, comedic spin on them.

It’s a Tony Starlight Christmas at Alberta Rose Theater -- 2 shows!

A Holiday Extravaganza featuring the All-Star Horns and guest vocalists Barbara Ayars and Thea Enos — 2 shows — 2 PM & 5 PM

"It's a Tony Starlight Christmas" has been a Portland holiday tradition for the last fifteen years, and this December it is being performed exclusively on the stage of Alberta Rose Theatre. Tony's Christmas show is a throwback to the classic television variety shows when legends like Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, and Frank Sinatra sang songs and spread holiday cheer far and wide. You can’t help but feel the warmth and glow of the season. "It’s a Tony Starlight Christmas" brings back these uplifting holiday traditions and puts a fresh, comedic spin on them.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. THE LIVE STREAM IS AVAILABLE FOR $20. PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT TONY STARLIGHT’S KENYA MUSIC MISSION.

TONY STARLIGHT’S KENYA MUSIC MISSION

In July of 2022, Mrs. Starlight and I were invited by Rev. Fred Onyango to bring the gift of music to his village in Kisumu, Kenya, and to visit nearby Huma Girls School to see the site of a water well that was funded by our church. Thanks to Prince George Winyah Parish and Water Mission International, 600 girls now have access to clean water for the first time in the school’s thirty-seven-year history!

We brought along a guitar that we presented as a gift to Emmanuel Anglican Church. It had such an amazing impact, as no one in the church could not afford a guitar. Think about that! While in Kenya, I taught a vocal performance workshop to a group of young worship leaders, played music for vacation Bible school, sang with the praise band on Sunday, and forged lifetime friendships. My phone frequently pings with “What’s App” texts from Kenya!

In July of 2023, Sherry and I returned to Kisumu, this time bringing three guitars, eleven recorders, two melodicas, twenty pitch pipes, drumsticks, microphones, and the funds to purchase a new drum set. This was all thanks to the generous contributions of Tony Starlight fans. Our Kenyan friends were over the moon with gratitude. I taught another workshop to young praise leaders, and we helped to build homes for families in extreme poverty. The experience was profoundly life-changing for so many, including us.

In 2024, we’re headed back once again. We’re asking for funds to help with our travel expenses, and to bring even more instruments. Donations can be made by check or Venmo (@tonystarlight). If you would like a tax deduction, write a check to Prince George Winyah Parish. Please be certain to write “Africa Mission” in the memo, and mail it to:

Tony Starlight, 919 Palmetto St., Georgetown, SC 29440 Thank you!

Storytime with Tony Starlight at Canby Pioneer Chapel

Storytime with Tony Starlight at Canby Pioneer Chapel

Recently I was asked what kind of songs I like and immediately what came to mind were songs that tell a story. Great opening lines like…

“A little ditty about Jack and Diane…”
“An old cowboy went ridin’ out one dark and windy day…”
“A child arrived just the other day…”
“On a warm summer’s evenin’, on a train bound for nowhere…”

…all have me wondering what happens next. “The Boxer”, “One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)”, “Operator”, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, and “El Paso” are more such songs with stories to tell. Some are epic, sweeping narratives, while others simply tell part of a broader tale. I love these songs!

So, how about a night of nothing but my favorite story songs at Canby Pioneer Chapel? Thus far it’s just me and Craig. Who’ll join us? You in?

Tony Starlight - guitar and vocals
Craig Bidondo - piano

All ages welcome.

Presidents Day with Tony Starlight & 3 Leg Torso in Lake Oswego

7:00 PM19:00

Presidents Day with Tony Starlight & 3 Leg Torso in Lake Oswego

Presidents of the Past with 3 Leg Torso, Tony Starlight and Ralph Huntley​

This coming February 17th on Presidents Day, 3 Leg Torso and long-time friends Tony Starlight and Ralph Huntley present a musically humorous and not-so-historically accurate performance of Presidents of the Past, featuring the likes of U.S. Presidents from the 19th and 20th century. Every member of the band, including special guests Tony and Ralph, will loosely represent a U.S. President of their choosing, showing their respect for the office and to the men who held these high positions - all of this through light musical theatre and bust-your-William H. Taft-belly stage banter.

3 leg torso presidents big.jpg

All of the Presidents represented had been relatively clean (but not necessarily sober) so we won't spend any valuable time with impeachment hearings or shameful resignations. Music will be the main focus, and boy, do we have a new deal for you!

“If you always support the correct principles then you will never play the wrong notes!” ~Andrew Johnson, first President of the United States of America

All sales final. No refunds or exchanges allowed. No wait list for sold out shows. Tickets available online until 4 pm day of the show.

Neil Diamond 79th Birthday Party and Show In Ridgefield

Tony shall Neil before Ridgefield, WA in our multimedia live music tribute to the anointed one on his birthday!

For the last 15 years, Tony has been performing his tribute to Neil Diamond’s iconic legacy of song. On this night Tony and a six-piece band will perform a loving tribute to Neil Diamond with equal parts heart and laughter. Musically, the performance is spot on. In fact, Tony Starlight sounds so much like Diamond that fans have remarked, “it’s eerie!”

Whether it’s monologues about the lifestyle of a living legend and the burdens of carrying around such enormous talent, or challenging the audience to perform better, or an all-new take on “You Don’t Bring me Flowers”, no other Diamond tribute is this much fun. And we guarantee it’s the only tribute with simulated figure skating! Here’s the kicker: Even people who don’t like Neil Diamond, like this show! You know what you call people who don’t like Neil Diamond, don’t ya? LIARS!

TONY STARLIGHT USES LIVE MUSICIANS ONLY. What you hear is us. There are no backing “tracks” on this, or any other show at Tony Starlight Showroom.

It’s a Tony Starlight Christmas at Revolution Hall!

A Holiday Extravaganza at Revolution Hall, Featuring the All-Star Horns!

Tony Starlight's Christmas shows are a Portland holiday tradition. Since the first show in 1994 at the Space Room, to the series of sold out shows he performs at Tony Starlight Showroom each December, Tony and cast have been uplifting spirits with a show that is both silly and sweet.

For this 25th Anniversary year, Tony wanted to do something on a much grander scale. This bigger and brighter show needed a venue like Revolution Hall to contain it. Tony's Christmas show is a throwback to the classic TV variety shows. Through music, comedic monologues and sketches, Tony embodies the spirit of Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and Neil Diamond. Holiday favorites with new lyrics designed to skewer Millennial culture (and the Gen Xers that unwittingly created it!) Impressions of beloved characters from The Rankin & Bass Christmas specials like Jimmy Durante from Frosty The Snowman and more.

After 25 years of Christmas shows, this marks the first time the show will be performed with the All-Star Horns. Long-time fans of Tony's show will be happy to hear their favorite routines performed by this amazing band AND to hear many new songs and routines, designed especially for this one-time performance at Revolution Hall, including a set of Cowboy Christmas Classics from Tony’s newest project, Tony Starlight & The Starlight Ranch Hands.
