He served as Artistic Director at Port Stanley Festival Theatre, The Bluewater Summer Playhouse and currently LINK theatre & concerts in London…

Rick is no stranger at Aeolian Hall and for working with Bryan Gloyd over the years. They worked together on the Phoenix Sessions and have performed many benefits together. Bryan joined Rick for LINK theatre & concerts, a really Retro CROONER Christmas 2016 at The McManus Theatre at the Grand Theatre.

BRYAN GLOYD

Bryan Gloyd’s happy place is at the piano working out some different approach to a jazz standard – or anything he’s just heard on Spotify and would like to explore. His background includes church and some recording work and lots of fun times accompanying vocalists. Really good times include working with Grammy Winner Matt Alber, songwriter Marc Jordan and Canadian National Jazz Award Winner Denzal Sinclaire.

Currently he is supporting the Aeolian as book keeper and Acting General Manager. He recently retired from a 30 year career in Animal Nutrition and is now down to just 1 job.
