Barbiero-Byrd-Ghapery Trio, Rhizome, DC 2016-08-27

Here's a photo from the trio gig Saturday night. The space was really nice, the folks there even nicer.

     L to R: Jimmy Ghaphery, Sam Byrd, Daniel Barbiero. Photo by Chris Videll.

Upcoming Gigs!

I'm so pleased to be playing with Daniel Barbiero this weekend in DC! And of course, it's always a privilege to get to play with Jimmy Ghaphery...I'm spoiled because he's in town and we play most weeks. But this trio event promises to be very special....this will be our first trio performance outside of the context of dance.

I will also be playing as part of a large ensemble put together by drummer Samuel Goff, along with Jimmy and members of the Harry Partch Appreciation Society, on September 1, here in RVA, details forthcoming. Go here for a taste of what it might sound like. Should be interesting (and probably very, very loud!).
