Andrew Hoyt is scheduled to perform at Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois on August 28, 2026. Hoyt’s musical style 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 audiences who enjoy artists like Kenny G and David Sanborn. He has released several independently produced albums receiving airplay on smooth jazz radio stations.

Navy Pier, originally constructed in 1916, has served various functions throughout its history. Initially designed as a municipal pier for shipping and recreational purposes, it underwent significant changes during the Great Depression and later fell into disrepair. A major redevelopment project completed in 1995 transformed it into a popular tourist destination and cultural hub.

Today, Navy Pier spans approximately 3,300 feet into Lake Michigan and hosts a variety of attractions including gardens, shops, restaurants, performance venues and exhibition spaces. It consistently ranks among Chicago’s most visited destinations attracting millions annually. The pier's Aon Grand Ballroom is a significant performance space frequently used for concerts and events.
