TUESDAY JUNE 28 featuring Ghost-Note Fire! • Allen Jacobson's Slide Zone • Craig Brenan Trio Tiegen Costa Quartet • Aretha Tillotson Trio

Ghost-Note Opening Act Fire! Robert Sput Searight- Drums Peter Knudsen- Guitar MonoNeon- Bass Jonathon Mones- Alto Sax Sylvester Onyejiaka- Bari Sax Dominique Xavier Taplin- Keys Daniel Wytanis- Trombone   Headed by Snarky Puppy’s multi Grammy–winning percussion duo of Robert Sput Searight and Nate Werth, Ghost-Note is an explosion of sound. With an expansive roster of next-level musicians—representing members of Prince, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar, Marcus Miller, Toto, Justin Timberlake, and more—the band is pushing funk music into the future, building on the uplifting, pioneering foundations laid out by the likes of James Brown and Sly & The Family Stone and infusing their fresh take with tastes of afrobeat, hip-hop, psychedelia, world folklore, and more.

Fire! Mats Gustafsson- Sax Johan Berthling- Bass Guitar Andreas Werlin- Drums

Sweden’s Fire! have been unabashedly colouring outside the lines of free jazz, psych rock, and noise for over a decade. But it’s the trio format that brings their uncompromising mix of heavy, dark, and intensely burning music starkly into focus. CLICK HERE to learn more or buy tickets!
