On Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 4 p.m., Desert Hills Presbyterian Church (DHPC) will welcome soulful jazz vocalist Tommy Gearhart to the stage for a concert showcasing the works of the legendary Tony Bennett. As part of the Church’s popular Arts at the Rocks performing arts series, this free event will take place on the DHPC campus at the foot of the beautiful boulders, 34605 N. Tom Darlington Rd., Scottsdale, Ariz. 85266.

A sensitive yet powerful vocalist with a deep passion for ballads, Tommy Gearhart has developed his own sound as he explores the Great American Songbook and jazz standards. A former drummer, he transitioned to singing at age 25. Under the mentorship of Jon Hendricks and drawing influence from artists such as Frank Sinatra, Andy Bey and Mark Murphy, Tommy quickly honed his warm baritone voice and refined musicianship. Today, his vocal style blends heartfelt expression with jazz sophistication, making him a distinctive and compelling presence in the world of jazz.

With a mission of working with high-quality, professional artists and musicians to provide the DHPC congregation and the North Scottsdale/Carefree community at large with experiences they might not otherwise have, Arts at the Rocks is a series of performing arts events offered by the Desert Hills Presbyterian Church Music and Arts Ministry. Most events are free of charge and held at the DHPC campus, which offers breathtaking views of the boulders and the desert landscape to further enhance the concert experience.
