Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Marcus Goldhaber
developed a passion for Jazz alongside a 1928 Ivers & Pond
upright piano, on which his mother casually played countless
standards. Inspired by his upbringing, along with a clear
inheritance of the musical gene, Marcus graduated later with
a BFA in Musical Theatre from SUNY Fredonia. He then
moved to New York City and worked as an Actor, but
eventually returned to singing the standards of Harold Arlen,
Dorothy Fields, Jimmy McHugh and many others.
Today, Marcus is known in the music world for his intimate
approach to straight-ahead Jazz. In the past two years, he
has performed at several top NYC venues, including: The
Kitano, The Metropolitan Room, Iridium, The Cutting Room,
The Friars Club, The Makor/Steinhardt Center, The Carnegie
Club, Lenox Lounge and The Ritz Carlton. He has also
performed concerts at NYC’s Worldwide Plaza, The AOL
Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle and maintained
residencies at both The Benjamin Hotel and The Downstairs
Room at Penang.

Moment After” is available through Fallen Apple Records on:

His much-anticipated forthcoming album, “Take Me Any-
