Michael Kevin Walsh - Pianist / Singer - New York City, New York Event Location: Toronto, Canada Event Type: Birthday Party 3rd December 2022

My mind is still reeling in the heavenly bliss from yesterday's explosion! Every time you sat down at the piano you poured out musical and vocal enchantment. It was like the Roman god Thor hurling thunderbolts into the sky. you poured out heart and soul from your fingers and vocal cords. It was phenomenal. And how you inspired Sydney to performance like a celestial nymph singing and dancing like it prima ballerina. And you inspired little Thea to open her heart in blissful singing.

Meet the Act

I own and operate a recording studio, The Smooth Spot, right in the heart of the Broadway theater district in Manhattan. I've worked with and recorded so many great artists. Lately, I have started doing a live TV talk show on the Facebook network where I celebrate the careers of people I have met along the way.
