Something Like Sinatra

Something Like Sinatra – Show Biography Something Like Sinatra is more than a tribute show—it's a heartfelt celebration of timeless music, classic style, and one singer's lifelong dream. Performed by Northern Irish jazz and swing vocalist Steven Martin, Something Like Sinatra pays tribute to the legendary Frank Sinatra while allowing Steven's own personality and story to shine through. Rather than attempting to imitate every mannerism, the show captures the elegance, warmth, and effortless charm that made Sinatra one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Growing up in a small town just outside Belfast, Steven discovered the music of Sinatra at a young age. While many of his friends listened to contemporary chart music, he found himself drawn to the sophisticated sounds of the Rat Pack, the rich orchestration of the big bands, and the timeless songs that have continued to captivate audiences for generations. Artists such as Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé, Freddie Mercury, Elton John and Donny Osmond all helped shape his musical journey, but it was Sinatra's unmistakable style and storytelling that left the greatest impression. Music became more than just a passion—it became an escape. Having faced challenges growing up, Steven found confidence through performing, discovering that stepping onto a stage allowed him to express himself in a way words never could. Every performance is a reminder of how music has the power to bring people together, lift spirits, and create lasting memories. Since making his live debut at Camp and Furnace in Liverpool as part of the Primal Live competition, Steven has continued to build an impressive performance career. He has appeared at venues including The Folklore Rooms in Brighton and Casa Bar in Liverpool, while also taking his music to audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His growing reputation as a charismatic jazz and swing performer has led to theatre bookings across the UK, with Something Like Sinatra continuing to expand to new audiences. Audiences can expect an evening filled with the songs that defined an era. Classics including My Way, New York, New York, Fly Me to the Moon, That's Life, I've Got You Under My Skin, Come Fly With Me, Strangers in the Night, and many more are brought to life with warmth, humour, and genuine respect for the original recordings. Whether performing in an intimate cabaret venue, a theatre, or at a special event, Steven's aim remains the same—to create an atmosphere where audiences can relax, sing along, reminisce, and enjoy the magic of the Great American Songbook. Between the music, he shares stories, laughs with the audience, and creates an experience that feels personal rather than simply a concert. Something Like Sinatra isn't about becoming Frank Sinatra—because nobody ever could. Instead, it's about honouring the legacy of one of music's greatest icons while introducing his unforgettable songs to new audiences through the voice and personality of an artist whose passion for jazz and swing is genuine.
