Alter Bridge guitarist and solo artist Mark Tremonti will release his Frank Sinatra covers album Tremonti Sings Sinatra on May 27, featuring the surviving members of Frank Sinatra's orchestra. The album also sees the launch of Tremonti's Take A Chance For Charity, which will donate all proceeds from Tremonti Sings Sinatra to the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS).
"For years, I've loved singing along to Frank's songs," said Tremonti. "One night, I found an old video of him performing 'The Song Is You' from 1944. It made me want to dive into his vocal approach. I was all in and I wanted to do something with it. When we found out about our daughter Stella's Down syndrome diagnosis, the stars aligned. My obsession with Sinatra had its reason.
"Frank Sinatra raised more than a billion dollars for charity and that is a fact I wish the public the public knew more about. Beneath his cool and calm persona, he had a big heart. Doing this charity in his name was another way the stars had aligned. I decided to do this record to raise funds for families and individuals with Down syndrome. This project is the start of a new purpose that I will have for the rest of my life."
