Antonia Bennett will pay tribute to her late dad, Tony Bennett, during her solo performance on Nov. 30 in his hometown of New York City.

Antonia Bennett is gearing up for her first Thanksgiving sans her dad, the legendary Tony Bennett. But don’t worry, she’s armed with the profound advice he bestowed upon her: “Never look back, always look forward.”

In a riveting interview, Antonia reflects on the blessings in her life and the joy she’s determined to find, even in the midst of grief. Because who needs a straightforward journey through emotions when you can drop nuggets of wisdom like “Grief hasn’t been a straight line”?

With Tony’s recent passing at the impressive age of 96, Antonia is embracing quality time with her mom, actress Sandra Grant, her sister Joanna, and her 7-year-old daughter, Maya. They’re planning a small, family dinner in Los Angeles because, let’s face it, nothing says holidays like a cozy family gathering on the West Coast.

Antonia takes us on a nostalgic trip, reminiscing about past Thanksgivings at the Gotham Bar and Grill and hopping between the homes of Ella Fitzgerald and artist David Hockney for Christmas. Because, clearly, the Bennett family knows how to party with the best of them.

But fear not, the drama doesn’t end there. Antonia is gearing up for her solo debut at Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center, a venue her dad once declared the “best jazz room in the city.” Talk about stepping into the shoes of a legend.

In summary, Antonia Bennett is bravely facing a holiday season without Tony, armed with timeless advice and a determination to find joy. All hail the Bennett family drama and the anticipation of Antonia’s solo debut – it’s a celebration of life, or so we’ve been told.
