Experience Andrew Hoyt live on August 14th

Andrew Hoyt is scheduled to perform at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois on August 14, 2026. Hoyt’s music blends elements of contemporary jazz, smooth jazz, and instrumental R&B, often featuring saxophone as a prominent instrument. His compositions are characterized by melodic improvisation and sophisticated harmonic structures, appealing to listeners of artists like Kenny G and David Sanborn. He has released several independently produced albums and frequently performs at festivals and venues across the Midwest.

Navy Pier, originally opened in 1916 as Municipal Pier, has served various purposes throughout its history. Initially designed as a shipping and recreational facility, it underwent significant redevelopment in the 1990s transforming it into a popular tourist destination. The pier extends approximately 3,300 feet into Lake Michigan and currently features gardens, shops, restaurants, performance venues including the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and Polk Bros Park, and exhibition spaces. It’s a landmark recognized for its iconic Ferris wheel and consistent programming of cultural events. The location chosen for Hoyt’s performance is anticipated to be the Aon Grand Ballroom – a versatile indoor space within the Pier’s complex capable of hosting musical performances.
