Erich Cawalla
Pennsylvania native Erich Cawalla is a Nationally-Charting Singer, Saxophonist, Recording Artist, and Educator. Erich's unique talents merge "Old Vegas with Contemporary R&B" in tribute to some of his biggest idols including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Smokey Robinson, David Sanborn, Chet Baker, Frankie Valli, Kenny Rankin, and Junior Walker, to name a few.
Erich is a BMI-affiliated songwriter and a Grammy Voting Member of the National Recording Academy. In 2022, he released his debut full-length solo recording, "Erich Cawalla - The Great American Songbook", performing original arrangements of classic standards in a traditional big band format. The album held at #1 for 3 weeks on the RMR Top Crossover Jazz Album Chart and peaked at #14 on the the RMR Top Jazz Album Chart. It was also the #1 Added Jazz Album in the country on the NACC Chart for its week of release. The song "One For My Baby" was the #1 Crossover Jazz Song in the country for 5 weeks. Special Guests on the album include legendary Trumpeter Randy Brecker, Violin Virtuoso Karen Briggs, Percussionist Doc Gibbs, and other industry heavyweights. Erich has dedicated the album to his arranger Dave DePalma who passed away unexpectedly during the album's completion. This motivated him to create an all-new show featuring Dave's arrangements entitled "Erich Cawalla Presents The Music of Sinatra, Bennett, Darin, & More" which he performs at theatres and festivals throughout the country.
