Following the success of their charity concert at The Abbey in Orlando, Florida in May, Tremonti Sings Sinatra is coming to London.
Performing for one night only, GRAMMY® Award Winning musician, producer, author and founding member of rock juggernauts Alter Bridge, Creed, and Tremonti, Mark Tremonti will treat fans to an evening of Sinatra classics at indigO2 on Thursday, 15th December. Joined by surviving members of Frank Sinatra’s US and UK touring line-up, it promises to be a night to remember.
Whereas the US performance raised funds for NDSS (National Down Syndrome Society), all proceeds from this performance will benefit UK-based charity DSI (Down Syndrome International), to ensure more local beneficiaries.
Tickets for the all-seated concert go on sale at 10am BST on Friday, 15th July here, with an artist pre-sale preceding tomorrow, priced £32.50, £45, and £55 (+fees).
For such a special event, fans are strongly encouraged to dress to impress and come in smart attire, to befit the occasion.
On May 27th, Mark Tremonti, together with surviving members of Frank Sinatra’s orchestra, released an album of new takes on some of the classics and some deeper cuts from Frank’s catalogue under the moniker Tremonti Sings Sinatra. All proceeds support NDSS and the work they do to advocate for and support individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Mark and his family were blessed to welcome their first daughter Stella in March 2021 – who was born with Down syndrome – and the idea for the project was born.
“Tremonti Sings Sinatra” is available to purchase here.
Take A Chance For Charity is a new charity focused on giving artists / actors / athletes / anyone with a platform the ability to get out of their comfort zone. The idea is to have people get out of the genre they are known for to raise funds / awareness for the charity of their choice. We want people to have the most fun they ever had while raising money for charity. An actor can sing, an athlete can dance, a musician can perform a song out of their musical genre – any artistic interpretation. This gives participants the ability to do something out of the ordinary – in fact extraordinary – all in the name of charity. “Tremonti Sings Sinatra” will be the first release for the cause, the recipient being NDSS.

Some quotes about “Tremonti Sings Sinatra”:
“Mark did a fantastic job on this record, his voice and take on the tunes are amazing!” – Hank Cattaneo (Frank Sinatra – Duets Producer)
“Mark’s take on Sinatra is nothing short of uncanny. I could never have expected one of my fave metal guitarists to do such faithful renditions of Sinatra classics. Not only instrumentally, but vocally! & these recordings are for a cause near & dear to my heart; I was very close to an uncle who had Down Syndrome when I was growing up. I fully appreciate & support Mark’s commitment to NDSS” – Slash (Guns N Roses)
“Holy Shit, I knew Mark was a ripping guitar player, but no way did I ever have a notion that he had golden pipes as well!!! Totally blown away, totally into it, let’s hear more Mark!!!” – Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
“When Mark first played me a track from this project my jaw dropped. Gave me chills! This is a side of Mark’s voice that people need to hear and I’m certain they will be just as blown away as I was” – Chris Daughtry (Daughtry)
“Wow! I am absolutely blown away by Mark’s performance on this album!! He delivers the songs authentically, embodying all that is Frank but giving us a glimpse of his own personality as well. I love the arrangements and the fact that some of Frank’s original band members contributed to these tracks. Honestly, I’ve known Mark for a long time and know he is super talented but had no idea he was capable of channelling Old’ Blue Eyes like that! Just absolutely beautifully done and what makes everything even that much more touching is the cause. I bet Mark’s daughter Stella was in his heart during every step of the recording processes. Incredible!” – John Petrucci (Dream Theater)
“Once again Mark Tremonti never ceases to amaze me. These renditions of some of the most beloved Sinatra tunes, are so eloquently done that it is remarkable. And what a beautiful gift to the NDSS. Much love, respect, and success to this incredible project” – Brent Smith (Shinedown)
