Gary has been performing since the late 1980s and is a veteran and pioneer of the dueling piano bar circuit. Early on, he learned his craft playing in nightclubs alongside jazz and blues legends like B.B. King, James Cotton, Ronnie Earl, Woody Herman and Robert Lockwood Jr.
The Detroit Free Press recently wrote that Gary captivates the audience with "the manic drive of a pair of caffeine-fueled Jerry Lee Lewises, interspersing their musical selections with rapid fire one liners."
