Undoubtedly one of the most ubiquitous artists of the past 50 years, Bobby McFerrin, is on the road again to deliver his own personal brand of World Music, Reggae, and Smooth Jazz to the legions of fans who may know him best for his hit single "Don't Worry, Be Happy." He's got much more than that up his sleeve, however, and if you buy concert tickets through StubHub you'll have the opportunity to experience his incredible talent firsthand.
Bobby McFerrin was born in Manhattan in 1950 into a very musical family; His father was an operatic Baritone and his mother was also an accomplished singer in her own right. This technical and artistic upbringing inspired Bobby McFerrin to perfect many different styles of vocalization. His mastery of piercing falsetto, resonant bass tones, and a style of singing called multiphonic singing enables him to sing backup vocals for himself! To accompany his vocals, Bobby McFerrin also learned to play the piano, bass guitar, and the clarinet, but his incredible voice has always been front and center in his awe-inspiring performances.
The public first caught notice of Bobby McFerrin after his self-titled debut album was released in 1982, but he wasn't the cultural phenomenon he is today. It wasn't until he first recorded the theme song for The Cosby Show in 1986 and released his most popular album Don't Worry, Be Happy in 1988 that his popularity skyrocketed. As "Don't Worry, Be Happy" climbed the charts with unprecedented success, Bobby McFerrin became, and remains, a household name. Relive your fondest memories with this infectiously happy blast from the past and grab front-row seats to this happy-go-lucky jazz legend with Bobby McFerrin tickets from StubHub.
After the enormous pop-culture success of his albums, Bobby McFerrin expanded his career in a different direction, one that led him into the world of theater and orchestral music. He became the artistic director and guest conductor for symphonies and philharmonic orchestras across the country and around the world-- from New York to Los Angeles to Tel Aviv-- and would even, on occasion, perform a capella along with the orchestra! He also made a foray into the world of theater and reprised a role originated by Sidney Poitier in Porgy and Bess. This role, previously portrayed by his own father, ignited an excitement in McFerrin when he toured across the US performing "music that had been in [his] body for 40 years."
McFerrin has collaborated and toured with some of the most outstanding artists of our time during his expansive and fruitful career. He's recorded albums with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Modern Jazz Quartet, as well as with contemporary acts like En Vogue and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones-- proving that his talent cannot be confined to one musical genre!
