Gary Negbaur is a pianist/singer/songwriter who has toured across the U.S., Europe and Australia. His concerts mix jazz, blues and New Orleans style R & B, combining his own tunes with standards. His recordings include original rock music (Let me explain), solo jazz standards (Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat) and children’s songs (Max’s Family Band).
He’s performed in large venues like the Superdome in New Orleans, storied jazz clubs like Birdland in New York and music festivals like South by Southwest in Austin. Abroad, the Gary Negbaur Group has performed at historic clubs such as Le Bilboquet in Paris. Reviewers have dubbed him a “witty songwriter”(Austin Chronicle) with a “jazzy croon” (St. Louis Post Dispatch) who can “control the black and whites like...Captain Kirk manning the Enterprise.” (The Tennessean)
In addition to performing, Negbaur writes music and libretti for theater. He co- wrote Wine Lovers, the world’s first interactive wine-tasting musical. It’s a literally intoxicating evening of theater that’s being performed across the U.S. and on Norwegian Cruise Line. Librarians in Love (co-written with Tony-nominee John Cariani) ran at the NYC Fringe Festival. Negbaur and Cariani are expanding this one-act into a full-length musical.
Negbaur’s music has been used on film and TV. He contributed to the score of the feature film An American Summer, and wrote the theme for Cancerland, a reality TV show about breast cancer survivors. His song, Red Pontiac, was featured on NPR's "Car Talk," and singers often perform and record his music.
Gary studied at Harvard University (where he received the David McCord Prize for unusual creative talent and a Magna Cum Laude B.A.) and the Berklee College of Music (where he was a merit scholarship recipient). He tries to put all that to good use.
