Renowned pianist + singer Billy Stritch continues The Bradstan Cabaret Series on July 6 at 7 p.m.!

ABOUT BILLY

Billy Stritch began his career in Houston, Texas, where he formed the vocal trio Montgomery, Plant, and Stritch. The trio performed all over New York and Europe from 1983 until they disbanded in 1990. A chance meeting with Liza Minnelli in March of 1991 resulted in her asking him to create vocal arrangements for the record-breaking extravaganza “Liza Stepping Out at Radio City Music Hall”. In addition to his 25-year collaboration as accompanist and opening act for Liza, Billy recently toured with the legendary Tony Bennett as Tony’s pianist and musical director. 

A solo entertainer in his own right, he has performed his own shows (including tributes to Mel Tormé and Cy Coleman) in concert halls and nightclubs across the country. Billy also serves as music director for such leading vocalists as Marilyn Maye, Linda Lavin, Linda Eder, Christine Ebersole, and Paulo Szot. He is the co-writer of the Grammy-winning song “Does He Love You” recorded by Reba McEntire and Linda Davis. The single reached the number one spot on the Billboard Country music chart, selling in excess of five million copies along the way. 

Billy has arranged music for many top performers and created the arrangements for “Minnelli On Minnelli” and “Liza’s At The Palace,” both at Broadway’s famed Palace Theater. He was also seen onstage playing the role of Oscar in the Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of “42nd Street” in 2001.
