The Human Hands features Roy Williams (guitar, vocals), Phoebe Hunt (fiddle, vocals), Eddie Barbash (saxophone), Dominick Leslie (mandolin) and Dave Speranza (bass). The Human Hands is led by jazz pianist turned folk musician Sam Reider on accordion and vocals. The San Francisco Chronicle describes Reider: “He’s got rhythym. And for someone his age, plenty of soul, too.”
