Here's an article about a guy with a rock band, Excuses, who takes it into piano bars and cabarets. Just another addition to the "take music to the people" theme of this blog.
North Jersey Media Group, 2/4/07 - Between rock and cabaret - not a hard place: "[Evan] Toth, an English teacher by day (for the last four years at Community High School in Teaneck) got a role in the touring, off-Broadway and Japanese productions of the long-running audience-immersion comedy 'Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding.' ...
By the time he finished his three-year run in that show, in 2001, he was ready to hit the cabaret trail with a vengeance.
'I've spent a long time building a local fan base, and it's been a long road connecting to people along the way, but they do come out,' says Toth, 28.
It helps, in his brave new career as a crossover cabaret star, that Toth can sit at the Steinway and whip out a rendition of 'Strangers in the Night' or 'Cabaret' for the piano bar crowd.
Sometimes, when the club has an outer lounge and an inner theater ... he can serve as his own pitchman, playing sample tunes on the outside to lure customers to the inner sanctum."
