Nicholas Psyhogios CD release event Dec. 6 at the Des Plaines Theatre

Nicholas Psyhogios, aka Chicago's Own Piano Man, recently released an all-original CD and is holding a CD release celebration at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at The Des Plaines Theatre, 1476 Miner St., in Des Plaines. Proceeds from the event will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Join and celebrate Psyhogios' newest CD entitled "It's Never Too Soon To Start Over," which includes 29 of his original songs and has been recently released worldwide on all platforms. He will be sharing stories of how each song came to fruition, where it was recorded and the experiences of his work with Paul Anka, David Foster and Patrick Simmons.

This show, which is held on St. Nicholas Day, will be a "Red Carpet Event" with extraordinary entertainment as Psyhogios will be performing his original music with over a dozen of his bandmates and top entertainers from Chicago as they help him bring his music to life. As you walk into the theater, you will also experience the Red-Carpet photo shoot to add to the charm of the evening.

Psyhogios is known locally as Chicago's Own Piano Man and has a solo act as well as a five-piece, Billy Joel/Elton John tribute band that performs all over. He had his own float in the Columbus Day Parade in 2021, 2022 and 2023, and has opened for Burton Cummings four times, Tower of Power and KC & the Sunshine Band as a solo artist. He is also a two-time recipient of the Josie Music Awards, held in Nashville, for Musician of the Year in 2021 and 2022.

Psyhogios is also an advocate for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and produces concerts each year that has raised over $110,000 for children's charities. These concerts began in 2015, when Nick's brother-in-law Jim Zito passed away. Zito was 58 years old and Nick's best friend and band mate since the 70s. The Concert for Jimmy Zito was created as a celebration of life and evolved into Rockin' the House for St. Jude, which is produced by Nick and his wife Phyllis each year in memory of Jim and his love for music and for his caring soul.
