| | Jeffrey Marshall and the FoundationThursday, Jan. 27 - 6:30pm Jeffrey Marshall and The Foundation is a blues/rock band that formed in 2014 in Vallejo California by lead singer and bass guitarist Jeffrey Marshall. After winning the 2020 Mile High International Blues Festival for best solo/duo artist, Jeffrey met guitarist Aidan Roberts whose band also were winners. The two became friends and eventually began making music together. When it came time to find a third member to fill out the trio, Aidan suggested long time friend and music collaborator Noah Thomas. From the first time their music blared out of the practice space, they knew that their sound was something special. Combining elements of blues, folk, rock, and jazz, Jeffrey Marshall and the Foundation continue to astound audiences with their unique sound and relentless commitment to giving their fans always wanting more.

| | Wolfgang Muthspiel Trio ft. Brian Blade and Scott ColleySaturday, Jan. 29 - 6pm and 8:30pm Wolfgang Muthspiel, whom The New Yorker has called “a shining light” among today’s jazz guitarists, returns to the trio format with Angular Blues- his fourth ECM album as a leader. Like Driftwood - the 2014 trio disc that JazzTimes dubbed “cinematic” and “haunting” - Angular Blues finds the Austrian guitarist paired with longtime collaborator Brian Blade on drums; but instead of Larry Grenadier on bass, this time it’s Scott Colley, whose especially earthy sound helps imbue this trio with its own dynamic. Along with his characteristically melodic originals, Muthspiel essays the first standards of his ECM tenure, as well as his first-ever bebop rhythm-changes tune on record. This will be an incredible show you won’t want to miss! Wolfgang Muthpiel (guitar), Scott Colley (bass), Brian Blade (drums) |
