Announcing New Dates in the Northeast this fall

8/30/2017

Hi everyone,

I'm very excited to announce a number of new dates that will take me throughout the Northeast, from Massachusetts to Baltimore. Up first, on Friday, September 15th at 7pm, I have a concert appearance with my trio featuring the legendary Eliot Zigmund on drums (famous for his work with Bill Evans and Stan Getz), as well as the wonderful Dan Chmielinski on bass. Eliot is a great friend and an amazing musician, and it is so special to be able to play my music with him. This performance will take place at the Puffin Cultural Forum in Teaneck, NJ (about 15 minutes from New York City across the George Washington Bridge).

On Sunday, September 24th (sets at 8pm and 9:30pm), I will again be joining my good friend and fantastic singer Deborah Davis at Mezzrow in the West Village in New York City. Last time Debo and I played at Mezzrow we sold out the first set, and this time we're trying to sell out both! It's a great pleasure to be invited back to this intimate and beautiful club. This time we will also be joined by the great bassist Jennifer Vincent. Visit this page to make reservations for either set.

On Saturday, September 30th at 8pm, I'll be in Framingham, MA (near Boston) doing a solo piano appearance at the Amazing Things Art Center! This is a wonderful venue and a very special event for me, as I haven't performed in the Boston area for quite some time. I hope to see some friendly faces! Then, on Friday, October 6th (sets at 8pm and 9:30pm), I'll be on the other side of the Northeast in Baltimore, MD, at the beautiful music performance space An Die Musik. It's a real privilege to be there and to be joined by my mentor and the bassist from my album Curtis Lundy as well as the great Baltimore drummer Eric Kennedy as we celebrate my debut album Instead.

Finally, some of you in New York City will recall that I did a series of solo piano concerts at the Kitano on Tuesdays in April. In October, I happy to announce that I will be returning again to do the solo piano series! I will be there on Tuesday, October 3rd, 17th and 31st, and I may also be there on one more date, so stay tuned for my post next month when I will share more details about these concerts, as well as other exciting dates coming up in October.

For a full list of upcoming shows (including my weekly Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday residencies with Curtis Lundy, as well as an appearance with Iris Ornig on Sunday, September 17th), visit my schedule. Thanks as always for your support, and I hope to see you at one of my upcoming shows!
