Description
Eddie Tobin is an amazing entertainer & pianist!
Event Details
Eddie Tobin, 59, showed a talent for music as a child and got his first piano at 11. After traveling the world in several bands, he landed in Sarasota, where he’s become a popular lounge pianist. We asked him about his music, the local piano bar scene and more.
“When I was born, my mom put a radio next to my bed. At 4, I showed a musical instinct playing spoons, and my uncle bought me an accordion when I was 5. I learned piano at 11, and I studied music at the University of Miami. My parents owned a nightclub [when I was young], so I’d listen to music there or [later] I’d help on the weekends. I never thought of becoming [a lounge pianist], it just developed.
