Career

Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Goldhaber developed a passion for jazz alongside a 1928 Ivers & Pond upright piano on which his mother played standards after dinner. Goldhaber graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre from SUNY Fredonia. He then moved to New York City and worked as an actor (including musical theatre, daytime television, and commercial and character voice-over gigs), but eventually returned to singing the standards of Harold Arlen, Dorothy Fields, Jimmy McHugh, and many other musicians he grew up listening to.

After gaining a reputation in the music world, Goldhaber went on to record and release his debut album, The Moment After, off of his independent record label, Fallen Apple Records. In 2007, Goldhaber began to work on original, more contemporary material. Goldhaber is also a band leader, providing musical entertainment for private, special, and corporate events, and facilitating arrangements from a trio on up to a 16-piece big band ensemble.
