Another one by the brilliant Alexa Viscius

For those fortunate enough to grab a seat or push their way to front of the bar for standing room (guilty) @ZincBarNY, trumpeter @rileymulherkar showed why he had one of last year’s strongest debut albums. Pianist/keyboard player @ChrisPattishall proved a perfect foil. #NYCWJF

Last year I joined the Advisory Board of Jazz Congress and I’ll be at the conference this week at @jazzdotorg. Planning lots for 2025 and beyond. Come say hey.

"Each time you listen, it feels like a private performance for one, regardless of where experienced."

Honored to be in the mix at @NYCWJF next year. We’ll be at Zinc Bar on Friday, January 10th — first time sharing music from my debut album in NYC since our album release show. Can’t wait.

“The last time Riley Mulherkar played in Hudson was in 2016 at a neighborhood bar. This time, however, he was headlining the festival’s Saturday night at Hudson Hall…”

Thx @nycjazzrecord & Tristan Geary for the write-up on our performance at @hudsonhallny!

"'Riley' flat out IS the best jazz debut in a very long time. And it’s the most important — because it proves, once and for all, that modern jazz is not an oxymoron."

Speechless to see my album in the No. 1 spot! Huge thanks to @jazz88 for this honor.

Today is the one year anniversary of the "Ride or Die" music video. So proud of what we created with photographer @weirdhours, and for all the places this music has brought us over the past year. Thank you for watching!
