“You can’t separate the person and his music - especially with this man. When you are in his presence, you can’t help but smile. You can’t help but be happy and joyful and when he plays it’s the same thing. If you were blind and you heard him play, you would just be so joyful!” - Mudcat Dudack

Eddie Tigner plays the piano with a smooth, strong base that rolls along below the weave of the soulful notes of the upper registers. He is a musician who can move an audience from the swing of Heartbreak – It’s hurtin’ me to the rocking sound of Shake Rattle and Roll. For Tigner, the piano is not just an instrument; it’s a place to be.
