Welcome to the music page! 
Third Act Music is Keyboard/vocal, tenor sax, with guitar and others based on needs and venue. Why "Third Act?" Glad you asked! As a longtime theatre professor, nerd, and practitioner it is somewhat of a play on words, yet now in the 'third act'(or 4th quarter for y'all football folk) of life, it is a wonderful thing and a gift  to play the soundtrack of my life with fellow kindred souls.   Please contact us through this website or on facebook for more info! #laurastowemusic
The soundcloud tracks will give you an idea of our genre and our sound. We are always looking for opportunities to play, and bring all of our sound equipment. Easy listening, cocktail music, standards, pop, folk. Private parties/events, gallery openings, restaurant happy hour, dinner music, fun! We will travel a bit, play for tips and wine, let's party! Scroll down for playlist. 
​I recorded this a few years ago, here is a tribute to my dad's legacy; his children and grandchildren; brother Dan conducts the Notre Dame Glee Club and Symphony, all of the grandchildren have performed music in some way.

These tracks are solo piano with vocal; for trio samples, check out our soundcloud!
