Sam Reider & the Human Hands- Impresario Club

“Modern folk music.” – New York Times

“Sam Reider, composer, musician and band leader of a compact acoustic big band, is for me the 21st Century’s Folk Duke Ellington.” – Northern Sky Magazine

 “The perfect distraction for insomniac bluegrass fans… a mash-up of the Klezmatics, Quintette du Hot Club de France, and the Punch Brothers” – Songlines, Top of the World

Led by Latin Grammy-nominated accordionist, pianist, and composer Sam Reider, the Human Hands is a collective of innovative acoustic musicians exploring the crossroads of folk, jazz, and traditional music from around the world. Irresistible melodies, joyful improvisation, and otherworldly sounds collide in what Songlines Magazine has dubbed a “mash-up of the Klezmatics, Quintette du Hot Club de France and the Punch Brothers.” The Human Hands got their start playing late-night sessions at well-known bars and music venues in Brooklyn. After releasing their debut record, Too Hot to Sleep, in 2018, they toured throughout the US, UK, and Europe, appearing at premier venues and festivals like Jazz at Lincoln Center, Celtic Connections, and SFJAZZ and performing on PBS and the BBC.
