End of an Era!

WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN! After 17 months, celebrated powerhouse performer Linda Eder has made her long awaited return back to the concert stage. The Jekyll & Hyde relaunched her ongoing tour last month in Maine for a 2 night engagement at the Vinegar Hill Music Theatre. Of course with her ongoing vlogging on YouTube, Eder gave us a VIP pass into the experience being back on the concert stage.
However this episode of her YouTube vlog is a little bittersweet and emotional. It was announced that Eder’s longtime collaborator Grammy Award Billy Jay Stein has officially stepped down as both her Musical Director and Producer after 24 YEARS. Stein has been keeping himself very busy with various works on upcoming Broadway projects, playing in the pit on various shows, having his own band, and so much more. The video features Eder paying tribute to her longtime friend giving him so much love, support, and happy success in his future.
Eder will continuing touring again beginning September 17th, 2021 in Morristown, NJ before making her way to the following cities…..
Stokie, IL,
Vienna, VA,
Ridgefield, CT,
Englewood, NJ,
Aventura, FL,
Del Ray, FL,
Palm Beach, FL,
Irvine, CA,
Palm Spring, CA,
Venice, FL,
and
her ongoing residency at New York’s very own Feinstein’s/54 Below.
Eder’s concert are rotating shows accompanied by either a small band or some of the world’s greatest Symphony Orchestras.
No word has been said on who will be taking over as Musical Director for Eder’s upcoming concerts.
Happy Trails Billy!!
