Upcoming Performances:

Happy holidays! I hope this message finds you well. I have more private performances than public this month, but the public ones are very exciting and I hope you will save a date to treat yourself to the joy of live music.


This Sunday, December 11, 2022, from 5-8pm. I'll be performing solo at Lyon & Swan, a lovely new supper club in North Beach with a beautiful stage and sound system. I'll be focusing my performance on compositions by Billy Strayhorn, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, and Thelonious Monk. The food is delicious, and not too expensive! Here is an article in the SF Chronicle about them https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/wine/article/eco-terreno-wine-tasting-room-17565282.php Address: 140 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133


Next Sunday, December 18, 2022, at 2pm, I'll be accompanying famed Irish tenor, Emmet Cahill, for a concert at St William Church, 611 S. El Monte Ave, Los Altos CA. Emmet's voice is flawless and beautiful! We'll be performing Christmas music arrangements from his latest Christmas album release, and Irish music.
