Concert: "A Tribute to the Great Soul Singers" with Vocalist Gordon Michaels

The first concert in our Fall series! On Saturday, 9/13/25, starting at 2 PM in the Keys Community Room vocalist Gordon Michaels, a Boston-area performer, will entertain us with a “A Tribute to the Great Soul Singers,” accompanied by talented pianist, Bill Duffy.

Mr. Michael’s voice has been described as “a deeply personal expression of his soul.“ Originally from Bronx, NY, he sang gospel as a young person, was recognized as an exceptional talent, and attended NYC’s Music & Arts High School. Then he studied at the Boston Conservatory of Music, getting his degree in Musical Theatre. His vocal ability allows him to switch genres easily between Broadway show tunes, jazz, blues, pop, gospel and even country. A consummate entertainer, Gordon knows how to engage any audience and leave them wanting more! He has performed with Patti Labelle, Jennifer Holiday, James Taylor, Rod Stewart, Cissy Houston, Natalie Cole and many more internationally known artists. He was also a vocalist at the Vatican for Pope John Paul II’s televised Christmas Eve Musical Extravaganza.

Pianist Bill Duffy spent 10 years in the San Francisco Bay Area as a freelance pianist, playing jazz gigs and hotel piano. Since moving to Boston in 1996, he has continued his career, including 7 years as house pianist at the Four Seasons, and 4 years playing in bands on the Odyssey cruises. He has also developed a reputation as a warm and supportive accompanist and teaches piano at the John Payne Music Center in Brookline, MA.

This event will feature the music of many beloved soul and R&B singers and we are sure you will be inspired to get up and dance!
