Join us by the fireplace in the library for an evening of music by Second Opinion, an electric piano and guitar duo that joyfully delivers both original songs and classic standards. Their specialties are high-energy swing and laid back Latin-style jazz, spiced up with elements of rock, funk, and fusion. Tonight’s program will feature Chris and Paul’s own pieces, as well as music by Benny Goodman, Thelonious Monk, and Cole Porter.

Member Paul Boris studied commercial music at Rowan University, specializing in music performance in jazz/blues piano, composition, and classical piano. Member Chris Braddock has performed in concerts and other events at more than a hundred regional venues, and his compositions can be heard on several locally released recordings.  As long as there are different ways to play, there will always be a Second Opinion.
