STAN CHANG & GARY TAYLOR
October 31 @ 7:00 pm
Stan Chang
Stan has been playing the piano since he was 5 years old receiving training from the Royal Conservatory of Music as performing in Concert and Jazz Bands in high school and finally from Wilfrid Laurier University in the Honors Music program. He left the corporate world in the fall of 2010 and has since been a fulltime musician performing at music clubs, restaurants, weddings, and private functions across Ontario. Choosing to focus on his performing career, he voluntarily stepped down from his position as Music Director at The Church of Christ the King in Etobicoke in 2016 as well as giving up teaching privately. Monthly and weekly residencies include venues in Orangeville, The Millcroft Inn, and Spa in Alton, Manhattans Music Bistro in Guelph and J.Red & Co. in Brampton.
A favorite moment of his was in 2015 when he was signed to open the Opera House at the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival with drummer Erick Bruck and has since been asked to return yearly. Now collaborating mostly with Charlie Cooley, his repertoire includes blues, jazz, classical, pop instrumental and original works, drawing his playing and singing styles from artists such as Tom Waits, Ray Charles, Professor Longhair, and Dr. John.
Gary Taylor
Gary is an award a Juno award winning drummer. He is also an artist, vocalist and photographer. He will be joining Stan on stage on Fridays.
