Hank Roberts & Chad Lieberman at South Hill Ciders Community Concert Series

Hank Roberts & Chad Lieberman at South Hill Cider! Hank Roberts is one of our local musical luminaries. Most of his performances are touring internationally, and he will be playing at South Hill Cider on December 5th with Chad Lieberman! Hank Roberts is an American jazz cellist and vocalist. He plays the electric cello, and his style is a mixture of rock, jazz, avant-garde, folk, and classical influences. He emerged with the downtown New York City jazz scene of the 1980s and is associated with its post-modern tendencies. Chad Lieberman studied music composition and electronic music at Ithaca College. He plays piano, accordion, keyboards, bass, and guitar for many of the region’s best-known bands. Chad grew up in Miami, Florida, where, as a teenager, he was inspired by Cuban salsa and merengue, as well as the innovative music coming out of the University of Miami’s jazz program. These early influences fostered an appreciation for the music of different cultures as well as an awareness of the difficulties that can arise between them. In high school he formed his first band, The Hollow Men, which raised $3000 in ticket sales for the Miami City Mission, a shelter for homeless men.
