This month the Noe Valley Ministry will be hosting what is probably the most eclectic offering of the season planned by Noe Music. This will be a program of “modern folk music” performed by Sam Reider and the Human Hands. Reider began his career as a jazz pianist. He then shifted his attention to the roots repertoire, changing his instrument from piano to accordion. He now leads a collective of virtuoso jazz and bluegrass musicians from Brooklyn. Judging by the above photograph, Reider (center) is currently performing with (in left-to-right order) Dominick Leslie on mandolin, Dave Speranza of bass, Roy Williams on guitar, and Alex Hargreaves on violin.

This performance will take place on Sunday, February 26, beginning at 4 p.m. The Noe Valley Ministry is located at 1021 Sanchez Street, between 23rd Street and Elizabeth Street. General admission will be $45 with $60 for seats in the first few rows. Student tickets are available for $15. Noe Music has prepared a Web page for purchasing all three levels of tickets.
