Longtime Austin-based musician and composer Alan Goldberg uses his passion for melody, harmony, and the divine to fuel his compositions.  Anchored by the piano and supported by jazz, progressive rock, and blues, his musical explorations flow from prog rock to mellow jazz in a seamless web of musical storytelling.

 Goldberg’s roots in classic progressive rock, including such bands as  Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Frank Zappa, and The Who, along with blues rock and jazz fusion influences like The Allman Brothers and Chick Corea,   built a foundation of melody, harmony, and rhythm that fused together and molded his improvisational piano style. He has played keyboards in local Austin blues/rock bands for the past 20 years, absorbing the Austin vibe to keep the musical roots and vibe fresh and immediate.

The music from his first three albums is used for meditation, yoga, relaxation, and background music in spiritual settings. Goldberg explores a fusion of  prog rock, blues, and jazz in the album "Passion No Distraction", and returns to jazz ensemble in his most recent release of incidental music on "The Show EP".
