While cancer has silenced Russ Lorenson's voice, San Francisco's Favorite Crooner is on the path to recreating his musical magic, culminating in the eagerly anticipated release of his never-before- heard live album, 'Standard Time: Live in New York,' available now on the airwaves on December 1 (San Francisco, CA) October 30, 2023 - Russ Lorenson, acclaimed as "San Francisco’s Favorite Crooner," is set to enchant audiences worldwide with his latest album, "Standard Time: Live in New York." The record, a captivating live jazz-cabaret experience, is set to be released on December 1, 2023, under the independent label LML Music. A passionate champion of The Great American Songbook, Lorenson has been captivating audiences across the United States and Europe with his burnished tenor and warm charisma. He has previously released three critically-acclaimed albums, including two Christmas albums that garner heavy radio rotation nearly two decades after their release. His second holiday album, In The Holiday Spirit, was given 4 stars by Downbeat, and included in their “Best Albums of 2015.” In 2021, Lorenson faced a life-altering diagnosis of HPV-positive tonsil cancer. Through early detection, he overcame this significant health challenge and is now in remission. While cancer may have taken away his ability to sing, it hasn't silenced his voice. With profound gratitude and a sense of purpose, Lorenson is now channeling his creative energies into a flurry of activities, including the reintroduction of his back catalog, a children’s book inspired by his fan favorite holiday track, "Jingles, The Christmas Cat," and, notably, his first album in 8 years, "Standard Time: Live in New York." "Standard Time: Live in New York" offers a glimpse into Lorenson's captivating live performances in the iconic Metropolitan Room, New York, recorded in 2008.
