Paul Asaro

Paul Asaro is known as one of the finest of a select group of pianists who have mastered the demanding two-handed jazz and ragtime piano styles from the first half of the 20th century. The Stride piano of James P. Johnson, Willie “The Lion” Smith and Fats Waller, the New Orleans styles of Jelly Roll Morton, the ragtime of Scott Joplin and Eubie Blake, stomps, boogie-woogie and swing, Asaro plays them all with a fine ear for detail, blending the elements into his own personal style.

In a career now spanning two decades, Paul has performed at theaters and clubs worldwide. He has performed on stage with such musical legends and luminaries as Leon Redbone, Steve Allen, Marian McPartland, Butch Thompson, Jeff Healy, and Vince Giordano. He was the featured pianist in the Obie award-winning Broadway production of “Jelly Roll! The Music and the Man,” performing solo and accompanying the show’s creator and star Vernel Bagneris.

Currently, Paul performs with the acclaimed Chicago-based classic jazz bands The Fat Babies and The Chicago Cellar Boys, which both enjoy a weekly residency at the legendary Green Mill Lounge and the Honky Tonk BBQ.

Support Local & Touring Musicians

We hold house concerts primarily to support talented musicians and foster a music community. All proceeds from these performances are given to the performers.

These events are held in the living/dining room area of our 1914 Sears house in historic Poolesville, Maryland. We can accommodate 25-35 people, depending on how many musicians are performing and if the weather permits using the side porch for seating.

Here are some of our past concerts.
