Michael Feinstein in Northridge

Michael Feinstein is an American singer, pianist and music historian, born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1956, whose repertoire centers on traditional pop, vocal jazz and the Great American Songbook. He worked as Ira Gershwin’s assistant and archivist early in his career, and that connection informed recordings including Pure Gershwin and Michael & George: Feinstein Sings Gershwin. His catalog also includes The Sinatra Project. In 1999, he opened Feinstein’s at the Regency in Manhattan, where he performed extended engagements until the nightclub closed in 2012. In 2015, a partnership with him brought the name Feinstein’s/54 Below to another cabaret venue, where he also appeared. His concert-hall work has included symphonic programs during his tenure as principal conductor of the Pasadena Pops.
