First Friday; Jonny Verbeten Trio

The Jonny Verbeten Trio brings classic jazz to West Texas. The trio, comprised of Jonny Verbeten on piano, Dustin Pedigo on upright bass, and Tristan Nock on drums, features regularly at eateries, bars, and private events in Lubbock and the greater West Texas area. The trio is modeled on the classic Bill Evans Trio and 1960s New York sound, but also plays their own originals. With such a small and intimate ensemble, each member brings a unique sense of musicality to every song. Improvisation is key and all three members regularly take solos and trade musical phrases. Jonny, Dustin, and Tristan bring decades of jazz musicianship to the table and have been turning out tunes by the likes of Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Thelonius Monk, as well as original compositions, since the group formed in 2021.They released their debut album, The Owl & The Fox, in 2023, followed by their second album, Fighting the Dawn, in May 2025.

We'll be offering an extended evening menu of drinks, entrees and shared tapas-style plates.
