In a crazy journey to become a jazz pianist - I've been a theoretical particle physicist and a healthcare entrepreneur - I’ve realized that we’re into music for much more than an “upbeat tune” or a “catchy beat.” If we really like a song, there’s always more. It calls to you in a very particular way. It puts you in a place in your story,  the the past or hoped for future, to where you want to be in that moment. A moment which could be very different from the one in which you're listening.

This evening will be a deeply personal presentation of songs that mean a lot to me. I’ll share a little on that, but I’ll let you make your own connection with the music. After the show, I want to hear what you heard, and what you felt.

Please Note: This is a live-taping, so we'll be enforcing a whisper-policy! Cold bottles of still and sparkling water will be available for purchase, but this event is BYOB. Ice will be available if needed, wine keys and 9oz cups provided! 22 free parking spaces onsite are first-come-first-serve. Doors at 7:45pm, Show at 8pm.
