Piano Across America

  Yesterday was one of the most amazing days I’ve ever had playing piano… September 27, 2012 I started off the day meeting up with some Film academy students at 11:30 AM. The three students were from Japan, Korea, and New Zealand, a great group of guys. One of them, named Sam, decided to use [...]

  I’ve never played at this spot before and when I saw the little street fair, I knew I had to bring the keys and play. On Memorial day, May 28th, I took my mini white piano over with Brando. It was a blazing hot day and by the time I walked the 5 blocks [...]

May 12-20, 2012 I did the Meatpacking District over the course of the two beautiful weekends in May 2012. The sun was out and so were all the beautiful people strolling through the trendy Meatpacking District. On May 19, I decided to hit up the High Line Park again but when we got there, the [...]

After playing in Little Italy and getting booted from my corner spot, I went towards Chinatown. I never played in Chinatown and figured, why not. In fact on that beautiful Memorial day, there were more people passing through this intersection than anywhere else in the area. I was a bit confused about where to go. [...]

The West Village is most certainly one of my favorite places in the city. It has that old time neighborhood feel with the low Brownstones but its still centrally located in the busiest city in the world. The West Village is like the complete opposite of the Upper East Side. There are no Skyscrapers, only [...]

I am officially the first person to bring a piano onto The Highline Park! …And it was an extraordinary time. The elevated park was packed with people from all over the world. I was pretty nervous because I’ve never played on the park but I knew the exact spot to play. Someone told me to [...]

Alice Tully Hall is a concert hall located at Broadway and 65th st and is run by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. It is located right next to the Juilliard Building. I’ve played here once before in the brisk weather of January when it was 55 degrees. I like this spot because there is [...]

I rolled my little White Antique piano over to Lincoln Center using the elevators located on 65th street. I love Lincoln center property because of the sense of solitude it brings. The way it was designed and built really gives a calming feeling to a central location in the fast paced Manhattan island. There were [...]

Union Square is one of my favorite spots in NYC. When I came back from my tour across America, I came to Union Square and played there for a few months. I met the people of the Greenmarket Farmers Market, the Superintendent, I even met all the Park Police (we had many conversations). Now, every [...]

This is another one of my frequent spots because its so close to where I keep my piano. West Broadway has always been one of my favorite places to walk at night because its really quiet and I love looking at all the storefronts. Being surrounded by the beautiful Warehouse architecture from the late 19th [...]
