As a singer, pianist, and coach, Brian Patton has performed throughout the Northeast and New York City for over 20 years. A graduate of the Hartt School of Music in West Hartford, CT, he also did graduate studies in Music Education at Central Connecticut State University. His vocal group “16th and Savoy” performed regularly at Don’t Tell Mama in NYC, and his IRNE award winning “At the Movies” group performed a series of musical reviews with regular appearances at Scullers Jazz Club, Boston.
Mr. Patton accompanied Broadway actress Jackie Hoffman when she performed her one-woman show “The Kvetching Continues” at the Boston Center for the Arts and he also led the onstage band for Joan Rivers’s appearances at the Wilbur Theater in 2007. He has recently been hired as artistic director to develop and direct a series of cabaret performances in a new collaboration with CONCORA and TheaterWorks.
Charlotte Dore is a proud member of the actors unions SAG-AFTRA and Actors Equity. She earned a BA (honours) in Creative arts and after graduating had her first professional job as an actor/singer/ storyteller in a shopping Mall in the UK. In the States she has performed in traditional theatre and now has credits in mainstream movies and over 60 audio books.
Carl Kraenzel is a Boston-based character actor and bass-baritone who has balanced a high-level technology career with a prolific life in the performing arts. For 26 years, he has performed with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, the resident chorus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops, working under the direction of conductors such as Andris Nelsons and Keith Lockhart. Locally, he is a familiar face in the cabaret scene, appearing as a regular singer during Wednesday and Thursday night open mic events at Club Cafe’s Napoleon Room.
Eric Tam is a Boston transplant, working in biotech and singing for fun at the Napoleon Room since 2021. He is known for his reverence for the Great American Songbook, musical theater, and the torch song. Eric was the featured performer in the Jan Peters’ Cabaret Spotlight Series in January 2026.
