Marcus takes an intimate approach to straight-ahead jazz.

MARCUS GOLDHABER singer – songwriter – voice actor “One of his generation’s foremost purveyors of The Great American Songbook” -The JW Vibe “Goldhaber will have you loving every note!” ★★★★ (PEOPLE) New York–based jazz singer and songwriter Marcus Goldhaber is a Hot House Magazine and BroadwayWorld.com nominee for Best Male Vocalist , as well as a MAC Award nominee for Best Song . Widely acknowledged as a standout artist on the Jazz and Cabaret scene, his signature velvet baritenor has been heard at Carnegie Hall, 54 Below, Birdland, Blue Note, Iridium, The Cutting Room, and Kitano (New York City); the Catalina (Los Angeles, California); Count Basie Theatre (Red Bank, New Jersey with the Joe Mucioli Big Band); Lied Center (Lawrence, Kansas); The Smith Center (Las Vegas, Nevada); The RRazz Room (New Hope, Pennsylvania); King Concert Hall (Fredonia, New York, with the Nick Weiser Big Band); World Café Live (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania); The 1891 Fredonia Opera House (Fredonia, New York); and the Sellersville Theater (Sellersville, Pennsylvania), where he opened for Jane Monheit. The Promise of You is Goldhaber's sixth album on Fallen Apple Records. Acclaimed by JazzTimes as “wonderfully imaginative” and by Jazziz as “exciting and fresh,” Goldhaber reinvents the Great American Songbook for the 21st century, infusing the classics with new vitality. His original songs, at once modern and timeless, captivate listeners with their emotional depth, irresistible melodies, and lyrical sophistication. His songs have appeared in the film soundtracks for How We Got Away With It (dir. Jon Lindstrom) and Going Down in La La Land (Embrem), and have been performed by many acclaimed vocalists, including Gabrielle Stravelli, Randy Roberts, Melissa Stylianou, Aimee Allen, Alexis Cole, and Emma Larsson. “Tasteful and hip, Goldhaber has a gorgeous and sensitive vocal quality [that] brings the lyric to life.” ( Jazz Improv Magazine ) To quote the Midwest Record, he is “as good as it gets!” ( Midwest Record ) After 5 years as Creative Director and Co-founder of Harlem’s acclaimed speakeasy jazz club, Room 623, he released his original holiday single, “I Can’t Wait For Christmas” in 2025, which was hailed “A perfect fit!” by The JW Vibe. His new album, The Promise of You, was released May 1, 2026 and will be celebrated in NYC at both Mezzrow (7/16/26) and 54 Below (9/18/26).
