"Top Ten of New York Cabaret"
Talent America "Performer of the Year"

Talent America’s “Performer of the Year,” "Top Ten of New York Cabaret," and two-time MAC Award nominee Brian De Lorenzo is an award-winning singer, actor, and songwriter equally at home in nightclubs, concert halls, and theatres. He has traveled from Alaska to England and from the Mediterranean to Mexico to sing for appreciative audiences. 

Brian enjoys performing a variety of music including songs from “The Great American Songbook;” musical theatre; pop; and contemporary cabaret. He especially enjoys performing songs that may be less familiar to audiences. He has been a featured performer with the Western New York Chamber Orchestra, the Parkway Concert Orchestra, and the Little Apple Big Band. 

Brian's latest album, Toast of the Town Vol. 2, a follow-up to Toast of the Town Vol. 1, will be released on April 24, 2026.  Vol. 1 was nominated for the “Recording of the Year Award” by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets (MAC). Both albums, accompanied by the Tom LaMark Orchestra, are comprised of swing numbers and ballads from the Great American Songbook and feature a “big band” sound. 

Of his album I Know More Now, entertainment writer John Hoglund said, “De Lorenzo has a penchant for story songs that pack a profound punch. In this regard, he is always committed and gives thrilling interpretations of old and new gems that speak from the soul.”

His first recording Found Treasures, is primarily songs from lesser known musicals and was also nominated for the “Recording of the Year" MAC Award.

Brian is featured extensively on the original cast recording Made in America: Vaudeville Songs, a tribute to the Gumm (Judy Garland) family in which he starred at Don’t Tell Mama in New York City.

In November of 2022, Brian premiered a song -- "Things Will Get Better" -- which he wrote during the Covid-19 lockdown. It was released as a single on May 19, 2023.

He is a founding member of the Boston Association of Cabaret Artists (BACA) and served as the organization's president for four years. He has also served as vice president (three years) and treasurer, and was editor of their newsletter, BACA News, for more than four years. Brian used to write the column on Boston-area cabaret news for the international cabaret magazine, Cabaret Scenes. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The State University of New York at Fredonia (Fredonia School of Music).
