Sam Reider is a pianist, accordionist, composer, and educator from San Francisco, California. His work brings together various streams of American music, from jazz and folk tunes to popular song and contemporary composition. He has appeared as a bandleader and soloist at major festivals and venues around the world and his performances and original compositions have been featured on NPR, PBS and the BBC. Reider has performed, recorded and collaborated with a range of Grammy-award winning artists including Jon Batiste, Jorge Glem, Sierra Hull, and Paquito d’Rivera.
Sam is currently fundraising for his newest record with jazz-bluegrass-chamber music fusion ensemble The Human Hands. Their debut album, Too Hot To Sleep was released in 2018 and was described by Songlines Magazine as a "mash-up of the Klezmatics, Quintette du Hot Club de France and the Punch Brothers.” In 2020, Reider released the Human Hands EP, consisting of 6 live music videos that explored a wide range of genres from Brazilian choro to a Baroque-inspired Trio Sonata. Now, in his most ambitious project with the group yet, Reider is writing and recording a large scale tone-poem about the Jewish legend of The Golem. With Eddie Barbash on saxophone, Alex Hargreaves on violin, Dominick Leslie on mandolin, Roy Williams on guitar, Duncan Wickel on cello, and Andrew Ryan on bass, this all-star group heads into the studio in March 2023.
