Eddie Piccard grew up only a few miles from Cedar Rapids, but soon left for the jazz scene in Chicago, for famous Rush Street and the playboy clubs, appearing opposite the likes of Ramsey Lewis and George Shearing. After cutting his chops with his first trio in Chicago, Piccard moved on to the lights of the Florida resorts. Forming another trio, he hobnobbed with such biggies as Jackie Gleason and Liza Minnelli.
Now a class act in Cedar Rapids for many years, Piccard and his sidemen delight with everything from Sinatra standards to an amazing Ray Charles tribute.
Hear Eddie with his quartet every Thursday night at Gatherings and every Friday and Saturday night at the Lighthouse Inn in Cedar Rapids.
For bookings and other info, please contact Eddie through his website. Thanks!!
