The 36th year is in the books! Inner Circle is my longest running gig that happens two months ever year. It’s always a blast. I’m so honored to get to play with some of the best musicians in the industry; to spend two months with intelligent and funny reporters and be in the room with my good friends Tony Parise (the director); Kathy Beaver (the music director) and Madelyn Rubinstein (the vocal director).
I am very proud to be the music director for the third year for my colleague Robert Manganaro’s fundraiser at his son Leo’s school at PS 199. It was cancelled because of “weather” on January 25th!. A great lineup of singers including the one and only Betsy Wolfe who is currently in Death Becomes Her.

The very talented Andrew Timmins will be performing the song. Two days Saturday February 14th (YEP Valentines Day) at 5:30 PM at Ripley Grier and Sunday February 15th at Pearl Studios.
Tracy 54 Below
Very excited to music director Tracy’s first cabaret at 54 below. It’s been a pleasure rehearsing with her and leading men Arturo De La Fuentes and Jake Watts. She has a great variety of fun and poignant material. February 9, at 9:30 PM.
Since I was a little boy, I’ve been fascinating with making music with others. Now on January 1, 2026 I celebrate my love of collaboration with my rewriting of the song THE DANCE I wrote with Michael Colby with the amazingly talented Tommy Ferolano. To check out the recent review of Michael’s concert, click here.
Tonight on the sixth night of Chanukah, I played piano for Rabbi Jill and the Actors Temple Chanukah services and the open mic that followed. (Thanks to John Treacy Egan for the beautiful birthday shirt that I am wearing).
