Experience Eric Harland live on September 5th

Eric Harland, a highly regarded drummer and composer, will perform at Birdland Marina on September 5, 2026. Harland’s musical style is rooted in jazz, but incorporates elements of funk, hip-hop, and electronic music. He is known for his polyrhythmic complexity, dynamic range, and ability to seamlessly blend acoustic and electronic sounds. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with a diverse array of artists including Charles Lloyd, McCoy Tyner, and Taylor Swift, demonstrating a broad musical versatility. He frequently leads his own ensembles exploring innovative approaches to rhythm and improvisation.

Birdland Marina is an extension of the legendary Birdland Jazz Club in New York City. Opened in 2022, it provides an outdoor performance space situated on the Hudson River offering views of the Manhattan skyline. The original Birdland, founded in 1949, became a cornerstone of the jazz world hosting performances by luminaries such as Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Birdland Marina aims to continue that legacy by presenting both established and emerging jazz artists in a unique waterfront setting. The venue focuses on maintaining a high standard of audio quality despite being an outdoor location.
