Richard Marx Releases After Hours: Live from the GRAMMY Museum

"Marx delivers swinging renditions of Great American Songbook chestnuts"

- The New York Times

"'After Hours' tracks such as tango invite 'Magic Hour' - which Marx co-wrote with wife Daisy Fuentes - pulsate with jazzy flair, adding tempo to the album's overall sultry vibe."

- Billboard

October 16, 2026 - Today, GRAMMY®-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and best-selling author Richard Marx releases After Hours: Live from the GRAMMY Museum , a live EP featuring recordings from his sold-out August 19 performance this year at the GRAMMY Museum inLos Angeles.The event celebrated Marx's latest album After Hours , featuring the legendary Rod Stewart, Kenny G, Chris Botti, longtime Barbra Streisand collaborator Randy Waldman and more.

The live EP is a sophisticated and soulful companion to Marx's After Hours studio album, which debuted earlier this year on the Billboard jazz charts for the 1st time in the global music icon's illustrious 40-year career. In a rare contemporary approach, the album was recorded entirely live with a 24-piece ensemble, capturing full performances in real time - no studio patchwork, no overdubs. The result is an intimate, cinematic listening experience that highlights Marx's expressive vocals and masterful musicianship.

Blending beloved Great American Songbook standards with brand-new originals written or co-written by Marx in the same era-evoking spirit, After Hours singles include " Young at Heart " (ft. Rod Stewart), "Big Band Boogie" (ft. Kenny G), " All I Ever Needed " (ft. Chris Botti), "The Way You Look Tonight" and " Magic Hour ," co-written with Marx's wife Daisy Fuentes. A deluxe box set was also released, including the album on 180g vinyl and CD, along with a cocktail menu and stirrer, coffee table book, Do Not Disturb door tag, scented candle and more.
