Piano man Billy Joel has this to say about Kubinski:
“Cassandra Kubinski is very similar to the singer/songwriters of the late 70’s…proves that the genre (singer/songwriter) can still be transcendent.” – Billy Joel

He’ll perform some holiday favorites, and songs from his extensive catalog of original music that he’s performed from Saratoga’s City Center, to Lake George and beyond.
