Jazz singer Antonia Bennett is the daughter of legendary singer Tony Bennett.

For decades, jazz singer Antonia Bennett performed with her father, musician Tony Bennett, as he toured around the world. She remembers singing “The Hokey Pokey” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” onstage with Tony when she was just a kid.

Antonia started a solo career after her father passed away from Alzheimer’s disease in 2023. Her most recent album, “Expressions,” has been praised as “subtle, sincere, and deeply personal.”

Bennett spoke with The Conversation before two nights of jazz planned for this weekend at Lewers Lounge.
