Alex Mendham and His New Yorkers was founded by the white-tie-and-tails wearing bandleader, to sweep audiences away with the high style and musical glory of the ‘20s and ‘30s. He and his Orchestra have turned the music of a golden age into a worldwide concert touring show. Initially, Mendham pitched his idea to the owners of London’s Savoy Hotel, and the Orchestra embarked a long-standing residency in the hotel’s hallowed ballroom. Request performances soon followed at many iconic venues around the capital, including the world-famous Ritz Hotel. Beginning with a sell-out show at the Kursaal Concert Hall in Belgium, Mendham has taken his orchestra to new heights internationally performing everywhere from the lush art-deco Cicada Club of Downtown L.A to open-air concerts in the gothic palaces of Russia and the romantic canals of Venice. Outside of their live performances, the Orchestra is a mainstay of BBC Radio, and has lent its talents to film and television.
The band’s international concert calendar features upcoming dates in Los Angles, Switzerland and shows throughout the United Kingdom, including Highclere Castle from “Downton Abbey.” The group has recorded five albums, most recently 2021’s Fascinatin’ Rhythm, and several singles available on 78 RPM.
