Singer, Songwriter and Pianist Peter Cincotti's New "Killer on the Keys" Album Pays Homage to His Favorite Legends

Mixing blues and Bach with jazz and rock... singer-songwriter and pianist Peter Cincotti is something special. The 40-year-old caught the ear of music execs as a pre-teen and started playing real gigs by age 13. At 20, he opened for Ray Charles and gained worldwide success performing at the most prestigious venues around the globe. On the heels of the 20th anniversary of his first record, produced by the legendary Phil Ramone, Cincotti just released his 6th album, Killer on the Keys , with 12 brilliant tracks that pay homage to his icons. Not only do they span generations and genres, but uniquely combine them to create a sound all his own -- a la Ben Folds' 'Brick' and Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face' to Joplin and Brimhall's 'The Entertainer.' There are also original autobiographical tracks that tell the story of his life. From being born and raised in New York City to being on the road, to the death of his dear father on the night of his first professional show at just 13 years old. It's beautiful, poignant, and a tear-jerker. Don't fret. The rest of the album picks you right back up, and you're boogying in your seat in no time. Find Killer on the Keys on all digital platforms, and to find out where Peter is playing near you, visit PeterCincotti.com .
