Dan Furman Takes Over Piano at Open Mic

David Epstein plays July 6, Furman steps in August 3

Change is coming to Open Mic!  For years, David Epstein was our regular pianist for Open Mic.  As you probably know, Open Mic at Singers Forum isn't like an open mic at your local coffee house.  Our focus is on singers, with provided piano accompaniment.  From jazz to standards to pop to classical, we see a variety of singers come to the stage.  And David can play it all, no rehearsal, supporting the singer so they feel safe and free to explore in their performance. 

Lately, due to great developments in his life and career, David's schedule has become a little too tight to accommodate our monthly Open Mic.  However, before he turns the reins over to a new pianist, he will be back with us one more night, Friday, July 6.

Starting the next Open Mic, August 3, Dan Furman will be taking over as our new regular pianist for Open Mic.  Dan has been with Singers Forum for several years, and has played for a variety classes, including Cabaret Workshop, Get Your Act Together, and The Art of the Performer, as well as stepping in at Open Mic here and there.  He has his own jazz trio and also performs regularly with The Primordial Jazz Funktet.  Dan has provided music direction for a number of cabaret shows, and is a versatile accompanist, proficient at many styles and a strong support for the singer.  We're extremely please to welcome Dan as our new regular accompanist, and we know you'll love him, too.

You can check out David's and Dan's bios at the faculty page on our website for more info.
