Jukebox Saloon – Colby Beserra and Dan Lipton

Chicago-based vocalist Colby Beserra and NYC keyboard whiz Dan Lipton bring their strong musicality and love of a good song to the Jukebox Saloon. Inspired by the classic Tony Bennett / Bill Evans duo records, a pair of pros strips down and re-engineers their favorite songs with a sense of musical adventure. Beserra and Lipton create unique, jazzed-out interpretations of songs you know and songs they’d like you to hear.

Their debut album Jukebox Saloon Vol.1 was a strictly piano-voice affair, featuring songs by Beck, Cowboy Junkies, Led Zeppelin, John Hartford, Paul McCartney and more. Jukebox Saloon Vol. 2 expands the duo’s palette with full band arrangements. Beserra and Lipton anchor a cohort of Chicago & NYC musicians with a range of special guests: Chris Botti on trumpet, harmonica virtuoso Howard Levy, jazz violinist Zach Brock from Snarky Puppy, Natalie Cressman on trombone from Trey Anastasio Band, and vocalist Jo Lampert. Vol. 2 tackles songs by Gillian Welch, George Michael, Stone Temple Pilots, Shelby Lynne, Lionel Richie, Gram Parsons and The Police.

Join the guys at PianoForte to celebrate the release of Jukebox Saloon Vol. 2, out September 27 on Yellow Sound Label.
