Jazz pianist turned roots musician, Sam Reider is redefining\nAmerican music on the accordion. He\u2019s travelled extensively overseas as a\nmusical ambassador for the United States Department of State, been featured at\nLincoln Center and on NPR, and performed alongside pop stars, jazz and folk\nmusicians ranging from Jon Batiste and Stay Human, Bluegrass mandolin prodigy\nSierra Hull to Venezuelan cuatro virtuoso Jorge Glem. Reider\u2019s debut record Too\nHot To Sleep presents his unique compositional voice alongside an ensemble of\ntop-drawer musical collaborators and compadres called The Human Hands: Alex\nHargreaves on violin, Roy Williams on guitar, Eddie Barbash on saxophone,\nDominick Leslie on mandolin, and Dave Speranza on bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reider\u2019s debut record Too Hot To Sleep presents his unique\ncompositional voice alongside an ensemble of top-drawer musical collaborators\nand compadres called The Human Hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reider grew up in San Francisco, the son of a musical\ntheatre composer and klezmer musician. He began performing at a young age, and\nwas interviewed on Marian McPartland\u2019s \u201cPiano Jazz\u201d on NPR when he graduated\nhigh school. At Columbia University, he fell in love with American folk music.\nWhile writing his senior thesis comparing the songwriting of Woody Guthrie and\nIra Gershwin, Sam began studying bluegrass and old-time music, transcribing the\nfiddle melodies for the accordion, and learning to sing the songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This set him off on a journey that has taken him from back\nporches and dive bars to concert halls and major festivals in practically every\nstate in the country. Representing the U.S. Department of State as a musical\nambassador, Sam has travelled to China, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam,\nTurkey, and Azerbaijan, carrying his accordion on his back everywhere he goes\nand collaborating at every opportunity with international artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now he\u2019s surrounded himself with a crew of some of the most\nin-demand young acoustic musicians on the scene in Brooklyn. The Human Hands\nhave developed a cultish following and a reputation for mind-bending sets of\nhigh-energy, improvised music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
