The 17 TH AVENUE ALLSTARS are a long-admired all-vocal fusion collective based in Denver Colorado. With a natural vigor as
entertainers, their unique performances have been seen at a variety of stages and events nationwide. The ALLSTARS perpetual
evolution and desire to innovate are as relevant today as when Norm Silver founded the group nearly four decades ago.
Combining their individual styles with innate musicianship, the ALLSTARS continue to bring new and unexpected imaginations to
jazz, r&b, rock, pop and hip hop through an ever-growing repertoire spanning from the 1940s to the present. With an array of musical
backgrounds and influences in classical, opera, barbershop, rock, funk, and acid jazz, they blend their perspectives to merge into an
impeccably timeless sound. More recently, they have added distinct real-time audio looping techniques to their live shows,
mesmerizing audiences with layers of sound and enhancing their already remarkable production.
First assembled by Norm Silver in 1988 from a gathering of highly talented actors and studio session singers, the early group made
their debut in 1989 performing on 17 th Ave and Humboldt St near downtown Denver. From these beginnings, they found early success
with winning the Harmony Sweepstakes International, going on to release eight full-length projects to critical acclaim while also sharing
the stage with such luminaries as The Temptations, The Four Tops, Rockapella, and both the late great Mel Tormé and
BB King.
Recent engagements include performing the National Anthem for both the Colorado Rockies and the Denver Broncos, and a
special appearance at the Opie Gone Bad reunion. Carrying this legacy forward, the 17 TH AVENUE ALLSTARS of today are
Tristan Andersen (Denver CO), Grant Hamilton (Littleton CO), Arsya Kadyanto (Jakarta Indonesia), Paul Lannon (Cherry Hill NJ), Lily
Timmons-Rowe (Littleton CO), and Holly Vose (Wheat Ridge CO).
