Danny Bacher

Danny Bacher is a Singer, Saxophonist, songwriter and Consummate performer. The New York Times calls Bacher, "A Prodigiously Talented Musical Preservationist". He's a dynamic entertainer with world-class talents in music, theater, and comedy. His clean, crisp delivery is reminiscent of the true greats in entertainment. An engaging stage presence, a smooth- as-silk voice, and the gift of a storyteller all come together to complete this package. Add to that his saxophone prowess and you have one of the hottest musicians on the scene today. He has been a fixture on the New York stage in venues like Birdland, Town Hall, The Blue Note, and Carnegie Hall, and Jazz at Lincoln Center, and has toured internationally. Having honed his chops in the jazz capital of the world, Bacher exudes the emotion of a seasoned veteran performer, mixed with his own youthful vigor and bounce. From his catchy, toe-tappin’ renditions of rare gems and originals, to the classic takes on the Great American Songbook, Bacher is always at home on the stage and presents his case with humor, style and class.
