I was over the moon to read this review of One Wrong Turn: The Music of Rachel Covey at 54 Below! Written by Broadwayworld’s Belle Goodman, the piece touches on highlights from the evening and notes the incredible talent of the cast and creative team.
An Evening at 54 Below!
I’m so excited to present an evening of music from across my catalog at 54 Below on Friday, April 21st! A WILDLY talented cast of Broadway and regional actors will be performing songs from my musicals, Noise, Where We Are, and Painting Faye Salvez, as well as a few standalone pieces. Hilarity (and solemnity) will ensue!!!

Songs from a Roof!
I had a ball sharing some new music at Andrew Mullins‘ and John Coyne‘s “The Get Together” this week! The incomparable Stefan Schallack and Lizzie Koennecke were cool enough to learn songs from both Noise and the song cycle I’m working on, Where We Are, some of which were thrown at them basically minutes beforehand! It was so exciting to hear new tunes from the other featured composers, John Coyne and Jaron Barney as well.
Many thanks to everyone who helped bring such a supportive crew to such a scenic roof 🙂

The Reviews Are In: MuseMatch was SO FUN!
It was an absolute privilege to hear my “muse,” Kevin Murphy, sing the song I wrote for him S O beautifully, and to share the bill with so many composers and performers I admire!
Read the whole BroadwayWorld review here, and catch a very sweet few lines about my song, Goodnight!
EDIT: And the video is in, too!!! Ugh – just look at him go!
MuseMatch: A Musical Theatre Blind Date!
I’m so excited to be writing a song for the 2022 MuseMatch concert this March at The Greenroom 42!
Created by Bill Coyne and music directed by Nathan Dame, MuseMatch is a concert of new songs born from a series of “blind dates” between composers and performers. I’ve been tasked with writing a song for Kevin Murphy, who I’ve loved getting to know! A bit about Kevin:
As an actor, Kevin was an original company member of the First National Tour of the Tony Award winning musical, The Book of Mormon. Other credits include the Off-Broadway production of The Awesome 80’s Prom, in addition to With Glee, and The Happy Embalmer at NYMF. Kevin is the creator/star of Craig Stevens Guide to Making it On Broadway and the Bistro Award winning concert series, If It Only Even Runs a Minute, which have both played to sold out houses around NYC.
I’m so excited to see him breathe life into a song created based on our conversations! Many thanks to the MuseMatch team for the opportunity to have a hand in such a unique collaboration experience. It’s been an absolute pleasure so far, and I can’t wait to hear the other songs which are sprung from this beautiful process!
