Album Description

The Italian crooner Giuliano Ligabue pays tribute to Frank Sinatra with his fifth album, Dear Frank, recorded live during a sold-out concert at Teatro Verdi in Fiorenzuola d’Arda (Italy).

Available worldwide from March 6, 2026 on all digital platforms.

An unforgettable live performance now becomes an album: eleven iconic songs made famous by Frank Sinatra are reinterpreted with elegance, authenticity and strong artistic personality by Giuliano Ligabue.

The album opens with an energetic rendition of Come Fly With Me, leading into an exciting journey through some of the most celebrated classics associated with Sinatra — from Fly Me to the Moon, The Lady Is a Tramp and I’ve Got You Under My Skin to That’s Life, the swinging Mack the Knife and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, culminating in a triumphant New York, New York and an intense closing version of My Way.

Dear Frank is not a simple musical tribute, but a deeply personal homage:

«Sinatra has always been a fundamental artistic reference for me. His music has been part of my life since childhood. This album represents much more than a tribute — it marks a significant milestone in my artistic journey. There is also a deeply personal dimension: my father, himself a singer and musician, passed on to me the love for this repertoire. Many of these songs were part of his setlist, and performing them today is also my way of honoring him». — Giuliano Ligabue

All arrangements and adaptations are written and produced by Ligabue himself. He worked to recreate the orchestral spirit of the original recordings while adapting them for his eight-piece band, preserving elegance, intensity and swing.

With over 10 million streams across digital platforms, Giuliano Ligabue has established himself as one of Italy’s leading contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook. Dear Frank represents a natural evolution of his artistic path.
