He appeared in the 2008 season of America’s Got Talent. Recently, Stephen performed with Opera Naples in “I Pagliacci,” “Barber of Seville” and “La Boheme.”
This will be the eighth concert Tropical Storm has performed in since its inception in September of 2013. Recently, on Veteran’s Day, they performed at the Bonita Springs Veteran’s Day program to a standing ovation on the conclusion of their version of “God Bless the USA.”
