About the artist:
The Patrick McGrew Trio is made of national and international performing artists who call the Triangle their home. Since its creation the trio has become a mainstay in the local jazz scene. Exploring sound through the styles of jazz, blues, and latin music, the band takes advantage of the freedom that comes with a small, close knit group of collaborators from a variety of backgrounds.
Também is a trio of musicians who compose, record, and perform original works of music together. With a do-it-yourself approach they produce their eclectic, groove-driven music in a home studio, finding inspiration everywhere from Herbie Hancock’s angular improvisations to the contemplative poetics of Rumi to the multi-textural otherworldliness of Brazilian composer Hermeto Pascoal. Poetic lyricism, earnest vocals, and a palpable deep listening between Ingrid Knight (piano/vocals), Gastón Reggio (drums), and Andy Powell (bass) all form the trio’s down to earth aesthetic. Since its inception in 2018, Também has released two studio albums: Esmeralda (2022), and Echo (2023), a project funded by the NC Arts Council, and two singles entitled "Levinha" and "Meia-luz." Também has brought its colorful soundscape across the Southeast as a featured performer at numerous events including the North Carolina State Fair, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, the Koka Booth Amphitheater Jazz Series, Boonerang Festival and the Floyd Yoga Jam.
