Bio

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.  His signature velvet bari-tenor has been heard at Carnegie Hall,  54 Below, Birdland, Blue Note, Iridium and The Cutting Room; The Catalina (Los Angeles, California); The Smith Center  (Las Vegas, Nevada); and the Sellersville Theater (Sellersville, Pennsylvania), where he opened for Jane Monheit.

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.

“Tasteful and hip, Goldhaber has a gorgeous and sensitive vocal quality [that] brings the lyric to life.”  Jazz Improv Magazine. “Like a plate full of comfort food!” All About Jazz.  To quote the  Midwest Record, he is “as good as it gets!”

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, will be released May 1, 2026 and celebrated in concert at the  acclaimed 54 Below.
