The Piano Bar is that special place where we can gather, entertain, support and create as we connect with live music.

Amanda Brasher is thrilled to be back at PBL! She has been a soloist with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops, the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, the Syracuse Symphony and Symphoria!, with programs ranging from classic Broadway to Holiday pops. In the jazz idiom, in NYC, she has appeared with Alex Nguyen and The Jazz Conceptions Orchestra as well as with Ben Stapp. Favorite theater roles include Maria in the Sound of Music (Capitol Rep ) and Laura in Swing!

Antonio Edwards is originally from St. Louis, MO and now resides in Wilton Manors, FL. After many years working in corporate America and customer service, Edwards decided to move to New York City to pursue singing as a career. He worked as a singing waiter at a famous midtown eatery for over 10 years as well as working as a contract musician. After visiting many times, he decided to make the move to south Florida to again pursue singing full-time in paradise. He currently works as the Music Director for the Center for Spiritual Living in Fort Lauderdale and is also the lead vocalist.

Vega has appeared Off-Broadway in iLLa: A Hip Hop Musical and in Orange is the New Black. Madison has performed professionally throughout the U.S., was seen as "Nora" in HBO's Vinyl and has appeared onstage in The Life and In The Heights. The three forged a friendship working as part of the singing waitstaff at a popular eatery in the Times Square area.
