In 2001, I released a CD (remember those?) of solo piano music called “Small Acts”, so named because each song represented a small act that I can do to make myself and hopefully a small part of the world, better.
​
Now 2o years later, a completely remixed and remastered version, with three new "small acts" is coming. Read the story here.

Alan Goldberg
​
​
Austin-based musician and composer Alan Goldberg's compositions ripple with melody, harmony, and a divine energy that awakens the senses. Rooted at the piano and powered by a fearless blend of jazz, progressive rock, and blues, Goldberg crafts sonic tapestries that leap from intricate prog tangles to velvety jazz flows, luring listeners into a ride that’s as thrilling as it is soulful. A boomer with a maverick spirit, Goldberg was molded by the audacious anthems of The Who, Yes, Jethro Tull, ELP, Chick Corea, and Frank Zappa. Those formative nights—spinning records on his dad’s turntable, melting into a recliner, and diving into the uncharted—still drive him. “I want my music to spark that same rush, that sense of ‘what’s next?’” he says. He has followed the branch from his musical roots to modern bands with the same spark like The Dear Hunter, Coheed and Cambria, Between the Buried and Me, Thank-you Scientist, and others. From growing up in Waterloo, Iowa’s quiet lanes, to Minneapolis’ icy edge—think Prince and The Replacements—to Austin’s buzzing streets, where Stevie Ray Vaughan’s statue stands proud, Goldberg’s story is a sonic road trip. After 20+ years lighting up local blues and prog scenes, he’s mastered a process that’s alive and electric: live piano improv, layered with real and virtual instruments.
