Honeck-Moss Productions is proud to present “In The Works.” This exciting new series was conceived as an opportunity for composers to try out new work in front of an audience and see how it plays in a supportive environment. It is also an opportunity to create community among the composers and their performers.
In The Works will be presented monthly and feature three composers or composer teams, each presenting about 20 minutes of new material. This month features the works of composers : Casey Keenan, Blake Pfeil, and Ben Roseberry & Chip Klose. Hosted by Peter Trevino.

in its entirety at the Women's Work Festival in June of 2016. Casey is a
current second year participant in the BMI Engel Lehman Musical Theater

attended Berklee College of Music, Texas Tech University, and the American

PETER TREVINO is a prolific producer, composer, and longtime
songwriter who has cemented his reputation as a rising piano troubadour by
headlining clubs and festivals in New York and Los Angeles, collaborating with
renowned musicians such as drummer Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers), keyboardist Rami Jaffee (The Foo Fighters, The Wallflowers),
bass player Rodney Grant (American Pearl), and vocalist Steve Perry (Journey).
His timeless hooks are rooted in a sincere emotional core, his songs poetically
exploring the universal themes of love and longing, as is evident on his debut
solo album FREEDOM, which earned him a spot in the Top 100 on ReverbNation's
Pop Charts. With melodies rooted in the 1970s, Trevino simultaneously evokes
Steely Dan, Supertramp, Billy Joel and The Beach Boys, yet his sound is clearly
that of a singer-songwriter in this new millennium. Trevino’s music can be
heard in film and television projects, including the feature “Orson’s Last
Dance” and the TV series “The Capones” and “Homegrown Makeover”. ASCAP Member
