DALE GONYEA

Artist Promo

At the age of 5, Dale Gonyea got up one morning and, without a single lesson, began playing the piano. At 10, he saw the movie, West Side Story, and was furious he hadn't written it. Today, this University of Michigan graduate uses piano to springboard his unique brand of humor, and is garnering worldwide acclaim. This Grammy-nominated and Emmy Award winner has written songs for Disney’s Aladdin and Sport Goofy, as well as for Bette Midler, Ray Stevens, Rich Little, and for a satirical British television show entitled, "etc."

With live appearances ranging from Caesar's Palace to Trump Castle to Town Hall, Manhattan, Dale Gonyea is a seasoned comic-musician you’ll never forget!
