Enjoy American standards from pianist John Hyde. (He takes requests too!) Playing the piano since he was a child, Hyde brings his talent to a range of genres — from jazz, R&B and blues to classical, liturgical and cabaret. Whether working with famous musicians — like Bobby Hebb, Maria Muldaur, Whoopie Goldberg and Harry Belafonte — or performing solo, John can be found playing gigs anywhere between Boston and New York City, often alongside his wife, vocalist Sandi Bedrosian. A staple performer at Cheers in Boston for years, John also writes and performs his own pieces. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
