Singer, pianist, & composer Gabriel Kahane has a rare perspective on the changing landscape of musical influences a& interactions. Armed with astounding technical virtuosity & an intensely deep gift for writing, Kahane is at the forefront of a generation of musicians who find their voices, outlets, & audiences in unexpected & exciting places. Kahane has appeared at a wide range of venues from uptown halls to downtown dives, playing his songs for listeners that defy typical demographic predictions. His song cycle Craigslistlieder, art-song settings of eight anonymous posts he found on the ubiquitous personals/classifieds website Craigslist, has won over fans & critics with its affiliation of raucous pop culture & deft high-art craft. His other songs use similar groundwork to interact with the American songbook, literary, & historical material, & the unique connection between singer/songwriter & listener. Kahane is currently performing & recording with a band, which comprises Rob Moose, violin & mandolin (Antony & the Johnsons, Sufjan Stevens, Duncan Sheik, Orchestra of St. Luke’s), Sam Sadigursky, clarinets (Words Project, Mingus Orchestra, Ray Brown), & Richie Barshay, percussion (Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, The Klezmatics).
