Superhuman Happiness

Superhuman Happiness is a electronic yes wave pop group based in Brooklyn NYC and born out of lively free form dance parties at the legendary Zebulon. Founded by Stuart Bogie ( Antibalas, Arcade Fire, Iron and Wine), we've played at indie hotspots like Brooklyn Bowl, Baby's All Right, Rough Trade, and the Music Hall of Williamsburg, as well as festivals across the USA. Here's what some people have to say about our last record, "Escape Velocity": “The addition of vocalist Andrea Diaz [Dia Luna] does wonders in creating a kind of lyrical back and forth with Bogie, a kind of 21st century update to immortal classics like Mickey and Sylvia’s “Love Is Strange.” Its true ambition, however, is the genre-bending to a point makes the music almost unclassifiable, yet remains a record that you want everyone to hear, as it inadvertently creates a soundtrack to a world you want to exist.” 
-Glide Magazine "Few musicians have a cooler rock-and-roll résumé than Stuart Bogie, the creative mastermind behind this band. He’s played saxophone with many of the modern greats, including Arcade Fire, Iron & Wine, TV on the Radio, and David Byrne. The songs on the group’s new album, “Escape Velocity,” are pop perfection, with uplifting male and female vocal harmonies and extended disco beats laced with electronic nuances.“ -The New Yorker

As a part of a Bowie Tribute Show with Marco Benevento, I sang back ups for many performances, including a live radio set at Sirius.

The Loser's Lounge

The Loser's Lounge is a bi-monthly tribute show at Joe's Pub that covers songwriters and pop acts like Prince, Steely Dan, and The Supremes just to name a few. I've performed at many of these shows over the years.

The Manhattan Inn

Every week, I sang original songs at Greenpoint's premier piano bar, The Manhattan Inn, with Joe McGinty formerly of the Psychedelic Furs.

The Duchess and the Fox

The Duchess and the Fox is a cabaret noir duo comprised of downtown hero, Joe McGinty and myself. We've played shows in New York and beyond, at the McKittrick Hotel, The Red Room, and Sid Gold's Request Room. Here's what some people have to say about our most recent EP, "Every Night": “There’s a lot of emotion in these five songs and it’s a stunning way to enter the modern music pool – mired in tradition and skill in a time when it’s fashionable again to not focus on the strength of the songs. Thought and precision went into the writing and performances; these are finessed and nuanced and that it’s as barebones as delivered makes it even more of a pleasure to listen to and absorb.”
