Celebrating his 66th year as a recording artist in the music industry, legendary singer Johnny Mathis has long been considered the voice of romance. A sublime vocalist whose approach to pop music eclipses passing fads and trends, Mathis has performed songs in an incredible variety of styles and categories—from music composed for stage and film to golden era jazz standards, contemporary pop hits, and holiday music, all of which has assured his reputation as one of the most enduring vocalists in music history.

Mathis will perform at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans on Sunday, March 6, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. For his full concert schedule, visit here. “I don’t think about retiring,” says Mathis, age 86. “I think about how I can contniue singing for the rest of my life. I just have to pace myself.”

Best-known for his supremely popular hits like “Chances Are,” “It’s Not For Me To Say,” and “Misty,” Mathis has recorded close to 80 albums, six Christmas albums, and has sold millions of records worldwide. During his extensive career he has had three songs inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, achieved 50 Hits on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Chart, ranks as the all-time No. 6 album artist in the history of Billboard’s pop album charts, and is the originator of the “Greatest Hits” album industry tradition.  He has received five Grammy nominations, and in 2003 he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Matthis continues to be Columbia Records’ longest-signed artist.
