He has also brought his eclectic hybrid of rock, blues, melodic piano pop, jazz, and New Orleans R&B to the concert spaces at Steinway Piano Galleries all over the United States.
Music Connection Magazine says of his solo live album, Malone Alone: “Fiery performances and on-mic asides reveal the masterful storyteller and musician at his most entertaining.”
