Come on down and swing along with the best ragtime, stride, and jazz musicians in town.

Charlie Judkins (b. 1991) is a practitioner of Ragtime, Jazz and Blues piano, as well as a lifelong Brooklyn native. He began playing piano in 1997 at age six. In 2007, he was introduced to the music of Jelly Roll Morton and immediately began studying traditional ragtime and blues piano. Shortly thereafter he came under the informal tutelage of Terry Waldo and several other highly-regarded pianists. He is currently studying classical piano technique and theory under Jeff Goldstein. His piano playing has been in demand at various public and private events in the New York City area since debuting as a professional bar-room pianist in the Summer of 2010. Currently he works most often with singer and multi-instrumentalist Lauren Sansaricq (Miss Maybell) as a duo and in various trio combinations.

Charlie’s June 21st performance will be accompanied by Miss Maybell (vocalist) and Brian Nalepka (bass and tuba).
