In February 2020, Dwight Blake, a virtuoso pianist and singer born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, came to San Miguel and gave a solo concert at Bellas Artes called Piano Men, featuring songs of male pianist singer/songwriters, such as Ray Charles, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Billy Joel. It was a sensation. At long last, Blake is back, with the second edition of Piano Men, the latest installment in the Steinway Series – concerts at the Miguel Malo auditorium at Bellas Artes featuring the auditorium’s nine-foot Steinway D concert grand piano. All Steinway Series concerts benefit Libros para Todos, a nonprofit reading initiative for Mexican children.

Blake has a silky and soulful voice that can extend from a Barry White baritone to a Philip Bailey soprano. A music critic for the Vallarta Daily News, in Puerto Vallarta, wrote: “Dwight Blake’s fun, high-energy performances are always a hit, and audiences can’t help but get up and dance!” Click below for a video sample of Blake in action.

Dwight’s repertoire of songs is vast, and he has provided a list of about two dozen songs he will choose from, including “Superstition” and “Higher Ground” (Stevie Wonder); “Georgia on My Mind” (Ray Charles); “Crocodile Rock” (Elton John); “Moving Out” (Billy Joel); “Old Time Rock and Roll” (Bob Seger); and “Great Balls of Fire” (Jerry Lee Lewis). But that’s just a smattering.

Seating is limited.
