Earl Okin

Available

I have several hats and am known internationally wearing each hat!

I'm a singer/songwriter of great experience and a range of genres from Pop/Rock to Jazz and Bossa Nova.

I am a Jazz musician, (piano & guitar) especially known for my 'vocal trumpet' solos, a la Mills Bros.

I'm a headline act on the comedy circuit.

Putting these all together in varying proportions, I offer an unique, flexible one-man show suitable for TV, radio, Jazz and Music and Comedy Festivals, Theatre tours and Corporate work, but not limited to the above anywhere in the world.

Only opening act for Paul McCartney and Wings (among other rock tours).

From Ronnie Scott's and the Pizza Express, to Jazz Festivals in Cork and the North Sea Festival etc. Recently performed at Birdland and also played Billy Strayhorn's piano at the Midday Jazz series at St. Peter's Church in New York.

Concerts of Bossa Nova and Jazz in Brazil, Australia and other countries too numerous to mention...

Comedy.

Many shows worldwide, live and on TV...most recently, apart from the Uk circuit, enjoyed great success at Caroline's Comedy Club in New York.

Several LPs and CDs, the most recent on SONY, 2004.

I currently have two completed CDs in different styles ready for release and a TV Variety series is currently being edited, myself as host and performer.
This will also be seeking release.
