DAVE GREEN

INFORMATION Known as "The Chicago Piano Man," Dave is an accomplished self-taught jazz pianist and vocalist with a long career performing in Chicago-area venues, from the Civic Opera House to piano bars, shopping malls, and restaurants such as Toulouse and Palette's. He's toured the country with the Ebony Fashion Fair and performed at the Smithsonian Institute. Clad in tuxedo and trademark bowler, the 74-year-old musician entertains audiences with a repertoire of over 2,000 songs. Only a less-than-straight nose and an athletic grace betray his first occupation — boxing. Before becoming a professional musician, Dave boxed for 11 years, fighting over 70 bouts and serving as Sugar Ray Robinson's sparring partner.
