"American Panoramas" with Sam Reider and Jeff Picker

"American Panoramas" is a musical portrait of the connections between sounds, places, and traditions in the American landscape.

Latin Grammy-nominated pianist, accordionist and composer Sam Reider teams up with longtime collaborator, acclaimed Nashville-based bassist Jeff Picker (Nickel Creek, Ricky Skaggs, Sarah Jarosz).

Sam and Jeff first met each other as young high school jazz students. They eventually attended Columbia University together and founded a piano trio, connected by their shared interest in American roots music. Over the past twenty years their respective careers have taken them on parallel journeys through the American musical landscape. Now they reunite for a special program of jazz, folk and Americana music.

This will be an indoor performance so tickets are limited!

Reider's original compositions for the piano range from a quiet meditation on a High Sierra "Mirror Lake," to the euphoric, Keith Jarrett-inspired etude "Petrichor," (below) named for the fresh smell of the earth after a first rain. Alternatively pensive, bluesy, cinematic, and joyful, Reider's playing is "destined to spark your creativity, imagination and wanderlust for the natural world.” (Adrian Spinelli, San Francisco Chronicle).
