FULL CIRCLE
Gary performed in musical theater for close to two decades. Having appeared on stages across the country in dozens of shows, he approaches lyrics much like an actor prepares for a role. In musical theater, lyrics are often used to advance a story.
On FULL CIRCLE, vocalist Gary revisits his early career as a musical theater artist with fresh jazz interpretations of songs from iconic shows like Cabaret, Company, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma! and others.
” A jazz vocalist with an affinity for Broadway picks up the Mark Murphy mantle and wears it nicely. Wisely picking tunes that haven’t worn out their welcome and mixing them with tunes that have but have also been mostly forgotten, this is one of those tour de forces that remind you that it’s new if it’s new to you. This is a fine tribute by someone that really has Broadway in their heart. ”

“All of the songs are recommended. Brumburgh’s own story is a lesson in triumphing over adversity. The passion he gives to his music makes audiences lean forward, engaged and pleasantly surprised by the songs they perhaps thought they knew.”
