The first single “New York Story” shot to the top of the Jazz charts in both Canada and the USA and resulted in Micah being named the Toronto Indie Awards Best Jazz Act of 2014.
Micah is currently recording a new album transporting the listener back to the days of legendary Vegas showrooms when the worlds top entertainers worked the strip: featuring songs first recorded by Sammy Davis Jr, Tony Bennet, Nat King Cole, Mel Torme, and Frank Sinatra.
For his performance at Frankie’s Jazz Club, Micah is joined by Tilden Webb piano, Jodi Proznick bass, Jesse Cahill drums.
