Join Dr. Angie McCartney (aka The World's Oldest Podcaster®) and daughter Ruth for #Teaflix Tuesday at 11:30am Pacific time on https://fb.com/drangiemccartney 4/28/26 as they are joined by old friend Tony® and Grammy® nominated musical maestro Michael Cavanaugh who is a charismatic performer and musician made famous for his piano and lead vocals in the Broadway musical Movin’ Out. Handpicked by Billy Joel, Cavanaugh evokes a style rivaling the Piano Man himself. His interpretation of modern pop and rock classics led Billboard to call him “The New Voice of the American Rock and Roll Songbook” and Reuters to recognize him as Entertainer of the Year for the private events market.
Michael began playing at age seven when his parents bought their first piano. Encouraged by family and friends, he formed his first band at age 10 and began playing local functions, fine-tuning the craft that would become his chosen career. His first full-time gig as a musician was an extended engagement at the renowned dueling piano bar Blazing Pianos in Orlando, Florida.
In January 1999, Michael received an offer that would unknowingly change his life, moving to Las Vegas to perform at the famed New York-New York Hotel and Casino. It was there that Billy Joel spotted Michael and joined him on stage during a career-defining performance in February 2001. That night marked the beginning of Michael’s ascent to Broadway. Michael closed up shop at New York-New York and moved to New York City to work alongside Billy Joel and Twyla Tharp to shape what became the hit musical Movin’ Out. He gave over 1,000 performances in the lead role and received both Grammy and Tony Award nominations.
After Movin’ Out’s final performance and a run of more than three years, Michael Cavanaugh began touring the world in his own right. He soon became one of the most sought-after artists in the private events market and continues to perform worldwide. His tours include corporate and charity events, Performing Arts Centers, as well as major sporting events, including PGA Tour events, the Super Bowl, and the Indy 500.
