Experience the collaborative artistry of Burge, VanMatre, and DeGreg—three stalwarts of Cincinnati’s jazz scene whose original compositions reflect distinct personal voices and shared musical curiosity. VanMatre crafts melodies inspired by visual art, transforming canvas into sound. Burge finds creative fuel in the stillness of lakes and sweeping vistas, while DeGreg infuses his writing and playing with the rhythmic richness of Brazilian music. Together, their work weaves melody and harmonic exploration into a vivid, expressive soundscape.
If the total amount of beverages purchased by the party does not meet the minimum, a $15 drink/food minimum is charged per person in the party, per set.
