Playing at the NACs 4th Stage for Bad Broadway: Broadway Backwards with Tuba Czar
Steven Vesely has been playing piano since he was six years old.
An IT professional by day, Steve moonlights as a pianist and musical director for community theater productions in Ottawa by night. He music hero crushes are Ben Folds, Billy Joel and Michael Buble. He wishes he was good enough to play Jason Robert Brown scores.
