SILENT REED

Stan Karcz grew up in Chicago with his parents who originated from Poland. They recognized his musical inclinations at an early age, and were ardent supporters of his musicality. He began on the accordion and quickly progressed to clarinet, tenor sax, and ultimately the piano. Stan honed his keyboard craft through private study at the Sherwood Music Conservatory and the Bloom School of Jazz. Stan is also a songwriter, since 16 years old, and his original songs neatly stitch a patchwork of influences: Country, Southern Rock, Pop and Blues, into an accessible musical tapestry.  Be there!
