Musician, historian, and radio personality Clarence Goodman has been all over the place and all over the map. From entertaining senior citizens at retirement communities to performing at wine bars, and from giving "virtual tours" based on Chicago history to leading actual physical tours around the Windy City and to hosting inciteful, provocative radio programs, he has quickly earned a reputation since returning to his hometown.
​
When it comes to music, his artistry knows few limits. His songbook spans generations and genres, dipping into to the catologues of artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to Billie Holiday. An hour-long show at a retirement village may find him playing "Stardust" one moment and "San Antonio Rose" the next.

 

One of his evening performances is sure include sprinklings from pop legends in addition to his own compositions. A reviewer in Richmond Virginia described him as a cross between Bob Dylan and Sam Cooke. Please refer to the home page for upcoming public performances.
