Sam Reider and the Human Hands
The Arcata Playhouse is once again opening its welcoming wooden nest to a touring crew of masterful and fascinating musicians.
Sam Reider and the Human Hands is led by the guy at the top of the masthead, a jazz pianist-turned accordion player and composer who writes an alluring type of music based around many folkloric world sounds. I particularly enjoyed the pieces of bluegrass and tango interwoven into the group’s latest release from June of this year,
The Golem and Other Tales. The show starts at
7 p.m. and tickets go for $20, $18 for members of the Arcata Playhouse, which I think is a fine deal.
