She is a multiple award winning headliner at Feinsteins, The Metropolitan Room and Laurie Beechman Theatre. These critically acclaimed appearances have made her one of NYC’s most sought after guest stars at many of Manhattan’s prestigious venues including: Town Hall, The Cabaret Convention at Lincoln Center, 54 Below, The Iridium, The Supper Club, The Rainbow Room, The Oak Room at the Algonquin and Radio City Music Hall.
“A tart-tongued commentator on modern life, her theatrical soprano is an effective vehicle for witty story telling.” - NY Times
Kenneth performed in the National Tour of THE MUSIC MAN. He has also performed internationally on a Live BBC Broadway of SIMPLY SONDHEIM and throughout Ireland in A NEW YORK SONGBOOK: WAY OFF BROADWAY. Kenneth has appeared as both a singer and a pianist in the countries finest concert halls. Gartman’s work in cabaret garnered nominations for Best Music Director and Best Male Debut in the 2012 Broadway World New York Cabaret Awards.
“Gartman has the vocal power of a Broadway star with the nuance of a cabaret singer who knows how to connect with an audience in a smaller venue.” – Broadwayworld.com
