Toby Gad and Dave Eggar Interview (Eureka Concerts)

Toby Gad and Dave Eggar Interview (Eureka Concerts)

Legendary German-born songwriter and producer Toby Gad and acclaimed crossover cellist/composer Dave Eggar have each spent decades redefining the boundaries between virtuosity, emotion, and modern popular music. Raised in a jazz-centered musical family in Munich, Gad combined classical piano training with jazz harmony and improvisation before becoming one of the most successful hitmakers of the modern pop era, writing and producing global hits including Beyoncé’s “If I Were a Boy,” Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and John Legend’s “All of Me.” Eggar, a classically trained prodigy and adventurous improviser, built a remarkable career blending classical performance with jazz, rock, folk, film music, and contemporary crossover projects, collaborating with artists ranging from Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Amy Winehouse, Tony Bennett, Paul Simon and his mentor Michael Brecker.

Together, their project Eureka Concerts captures the spontaneity and creative freedom that define both artists — a fully improvised musical dialogue where jazz intuition, classical sophistication, cinematic textures, and emotional storytelling collide in real time. The collaboration stands as a rare meeting of two fearless musical minds whose legendary careers continue to evolve through exploration and improvisation.
