Following his recent sold-out concert at New York City’s famed Feinstein’s/54 Below, singer-songwriter Oliver Houser released his upbeat new single, “Gonna Be Alright,” from his upcoming debut EP.
Meeting at the intersection of pop, jazz and contemporary musical theatre, the single expresses the pain of heartbreak as well as the joyful spirit of resiliency.
Recorded and produced during the pandemic, the single features Houser on piano, backed by a Broadway-caliber ensemble of rhythm, horn and string players including Julia Adamy (Hamilton), Tomoko Akaboshi (A Strange Loop) and renowned trumpet player Tony Glausi.
With equal passion for storytelling and music, Houser aims to express the full spectrum of the human experience through a signature combination of humor, wit and vulnerability.
