Shaffer, a Grammy Award-winning master of verbal and musical improvisation, has performed on stages with some of the biggest musicians. He led a live, on-camera jam session with legends like Jeff Beck, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. He performed on a huge scale as the White House's musical director, showcasing his abilities and originality. Shaffer's talent as a musician was recognized when he performed with superstars like Ray Charles and enthralled audiences with his indelible riffs. Additionally, his quick wit and sense of humor have allowed him to interact with a variety of famous people on-air, including Bill Murray, Donald Trump, Jack Black, Julia Roberts, Tina Fey, and Nathan Lane.
Shaffer's career in music began to take off in 1972 when renowned composer Stephen Schwartz instantly selected him as the musical director for the critically successful Toronto production of Godspell after being impressed by his piano abilities. Victor Garber, Andrea Martin, Eugene Levy, and Gilda Radner were among the outstanding actors in the performance. Shaffer's career was propelled by the production's enormous popularity, which allowed him to play the piano in the Broadway production of the musical The Magic Show. After that, he began a five-year adventure with NBC's Saturday Night Live, where he performed music, created original material, and finally rose to the position of featured performer. He is best recognized for his lifelike portrayal of Don Kirshner.
Shaffer is presently enthralling audiences with his band on his first tour in 20 years, performing a mix of old favorites and original songs..
