In my second year of working full-time as a piano bar entertainer, I have been recognized by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets with a nomination for best piano bar instrumentalist. I am very honored to be named alongside these fine folks, all of whom I consider friends and colleagues. The awards ceremony, for which I happen to be serving as music director, will be on April 15th, at Symphony Space. ​

Wow, it's been a while since I updated anything here on the ol' website. In the last two years, my theatrical highlights took place in consecutive summers at the Cape Playhouse, in Dennis, MA. The Fantasticks, in 2022, directed by my old pal Dave Elliot, who was also serving as the Cape's Artistic Director that season, then the small-cast version of Camelot in 2023, helmed by a new collaborator for me, Josh Walden. Two dream scores, with great casts and pits. It doesn't look like I'll be returning for a third consecutive summer this year, but new and exciting things are on the horizon!
