Christopher Gines
Artist Bio
CHRISTOPHER GINES studied at The Juilliard School and has appeared at the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel, Birdland, The Supper Club, Tatou, Sardi’s, The Village Gate, Danny’s Skylight Room, and was a regular vocalist at the world-famous Rainbow Room. He has two recordings to his credit: “Christopher Gines Sings Charles DeForest” and “The Way It Goes.” Concert appearances include Lincoln Center's “American Songbook Series” and the Mabel Mercer Foundation's Cabaret Convention, as well as guest appearances in music festivals around the country. In 1999 he conceived, co-created and starred in “Our Sinatra,” which, following a sold-out run at the Algonquin’s Oak Room, opened off-Broadway to rave reviews and ran for some 1,300 performances and a 60-city national tour. His equally-acclaimed follow-up show, "Singing Astaire," premiered at Birdland in New York City in the fall of 2004, where it is enjoying an open-ended run. Gines is currently at work developing an original musical called “Prizes,” which will feature songs by Charles DeForest.
