Join us Sunday for a Father's Day Breakfast Experience featuring Carol Leary and John Hyde.

Carol Leary (www.carolpleary.com ) is a vocalist in the greater Boston area whose repertoire encompasses music from the Great American Songbook as well as selected Pop standards from the 60’s to the present. She has worked with some of the best jazz musicians in the area, performing with 2-5 piece ensembles.  Carol has appeared at many well known local venues including Angelicas (Middleton MA), Latitude 43 (Gloucester MA), the Lyceum Restaurant (Salem MA), the Chit Chat Lounge (Haverhill MA), Sally O’Brien’s (Somerville MA) and the Caravan Club (Revere MA), and is currently appearing regularly at Trattoria Bellamia in Beverly MA.  Carol draws inspiration from the styles of Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London, Kay Starr, Peggy Lee, Keely Smith, Nancy Wilson, Natalie Cole, Astrud Gilberto, and Dusty Springfield but has developed a style that is uniquely her own. Originally from Amherst, New York where she studied folk guitar, Carol relocated to the New England area to attend Brown University, where she studied biology and music. Carol began public singing in 1998 at the Ballard Vale United Church in Andover MA and eventually chose to concentrate on the songs she loves the most.  She has studied voice with Sandi Bedrosian at ‘The Voice Studio’ for the past ten years, and is grateful for the generous support she has always received from the many talented musicians in the area, as well as from her family, friends, and co-workers at Massachusetts General Hospital.  She will be appearing at the Seaward Inn with the accomplished pianist/accordionist
John Hyde, who is a native of Beverly, MA. John has been playing piano since he was a child. At Berklee College of Music, he majored in composition while studying classical piano under Ed Bedner. After graduating from Berklee, he was swayed by jazz and studied under Charlie Banacas and Paul Schmeling. John has performed with a multitude of bands as well as doing solo work, spanning many genres of music including Jazz, R&B, Blues, Cabaret and Classical/Liturgical Music. He has worked with Bobby Hebb, Maria Muldaur, Whoopie Goldberg, Harry Belafonte, and members of the Room Full of Blues Band. He also played at the “Cheers” bar in Boston for 3 years. Most summers John works at the Lincoln Center in New York composing and performing the music for some of their outdoor productions.

In addition to writing and performing, John has a roster of private students who keep him busy teaching. He teaches all ages, levels and styles. He also performs throughout the Greater Boston area as musical director/arranger and accompanist for jazz, classical and liturgical concerts and often accompanies his wife, vocalist Sandi Bedrosian.
