  • Bio

    .... ....To subscribe to the Earl Okin Show..please enter your email address:....................Podcasting Solutions by ..LittleSmasher.com........ .... Although I was signed to the same company as The Beatles in the 60s and recorded at Abbey Road, I only went full time in 1979, by coincidence opening (the only opening act ever used) for Paul McCartney's WINGS. Since then, I've worked as a Jazz singer/musician (LOVE the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Hoagy Carmichael etc.), performed Bossa Nova in Brazil (Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim...more geniuses!), become a headline act on the London comedy circuit and, still a singer-songwriter, of-course, performed my one-man show with success at the Edinburgh Festival and, indeed, literally around the world. Naturally, I'm always available for A&R men, film producers, TV producers and gorgeous women, especially, (though not necessarily), if they're from Brasil!!!... ;-) I recently had a CD out on SONY (covering more of my comedy-music. You can now download it from... http://www.itunes.com/uk/itunes/store I THINK that that's the correct link, anyhow! ;-) Then you do a search for EARL OKIN. .. ....Image created at ..Upload Picture.... .. .. .. .. ..

  • Influences

    Influences? How long have you got? Puccini, Tchaikowsky, Caruso, Chaliapin, Paul Robeson, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Joao Gilberto, Mel Torme...the list goes on! However, he is unique!

  • Sounds Like

    You decide. However, the plain truth is that there's nobody like him at all!! ;-) Here's one recent opinion...from someone who knows! "You are quite a genius you are - you have managed to find a niche in Cabaret I have never seen nor heard before - you are simply brilliant. Hard to categorize - musician/comedian or what - I guess you are anything the audience wants to categorize you as long as they book you. One must see you in person to "get you" - even though your musicianship is fantastic!!! Your guitar and especially piano playing is thrilling in all the genres! One thing I gleaned from your performance is that one must "experience you" - live - "where you live - you need an audience! Those little nuances you have in your "kit" needs people to experience them.." BUDDY BREGMAN (2008) (Legendary producer/arranger of the Ella Fitzgerald 'Songbook' series, who has also worked with just about everybody..from Sammy Davis Jr. to Bing Crosby, etc...)

    Hi Earl!

    It was a real pleasure to meet you in Vienna. A wonderful show, highly witty and entertaining. I had a great night. Hope the train ride to Paris wasn't too strenuous. Next time I am back in London I will definitely pop down to another show.

    All the very best,

    James :)
