Happy standard time,

The live arts are near back to their former vigor, and Benny and I couldn’t be cheerier…though we can barely…

The bank doesn’t grant any holidays in August…

Nothing standard about this standard time…

Merry March!

How did you spend your extra day? Mine and Benny's couldn’t have unfolded more rosily as we triumphed with a tremendous And On the 366th Day at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex’s Intimate Theatre. We extend gratitude to all the leapers who shared the sold-out evening with us, particularly our guest contributors Bella Hicks, Nina Herzog, Jonnie Reinhart, John Schroeder, mom Valerie Perri, and especially….

Good weekend to you,

I gently remind you that in exactly one week, on Saturday, February 29, 8p, Benny and I leap into…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

On Tuesday night, months of research and arranging-orchestrating magnificently culminated with Musik! Fantasie! Revolution!, our Weimar Berlin collaboration with the LA Philharmonic at Black Rabbit Rose. Continued thanks to…

Happy February!

Benny and I just returned home from Disney Hall, where I lead our first rehearsal for Musik! Fantasie! Revolution!, the Weimar Berlin cabaret we’re creative directing, arranging, and orchestrating for the LA Philharmonic’s Weimar Festival. It was exhilarating, delicious, and…

Happy new decade!

Hope you’re fulfilling the many resolutions you declared. Among other goals, I vowed to hang up my clothes after removing them…I haven’t quite succeeded…yet...

Finally Benny and I can publicly share that Tuesday, February 11 we collaborate with…

Where are you this holiday season?

Benny and I are resetting (and clothing) after this week’s miniature SoCal tour with “undie-rockers” The Skivvies in Palm Springs and Laguna Beach. Aside from the obligatory Christmas and Chanuka gigs, from here on out we prepare arduously at home for two pinch-me…

For what are you grateful this season?

Last week Benny and I announced a first ever j-b sweepstakes on our social media: Purchase advance seats to And On the 366th Day, our next show at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex Saturday, February 29, 2020, 8pm, and at random one lucky patron will win a dinner on us and, based on our table talk, an entirely new song for them that we’ll debut at the performance. Plus…

How’s your autumn?

Not even two weeks ago, Benny and I returned from three stupendous shows on the Atlantic, beginning with Jonnie Reinhart’s A Queer Cabaret at New York’s Club Cumming. The next night All Aboard! the…

May I have your attention please,

Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee, where Benny and I just celebrated a wedding before co-conducting The Train of Thought, departing in a mere two days from Birdland Theater this Tuesday, October 15, 7p. Benny and I are remarkably excited to debut fresh numbers, whose lyrics and harmonies we were scrupulously memorizing while the…

Ding! Ding! May I have your attention,

Felicitations,

Just about a month ago jackbenny ravished Birdland Theater in New York; thanks again to everyone who participated in the spectacular evening—especially Jonnie Reinhart, Catriona Fray, Spencer Inch, and mom and dad. We’re thus returning to Birdland Tuesday, October 15, 7p, this time with a new show: All Aboard! the Train of Thought. New songs, new guests, and new shtick abound aboard!
