JAZZ SESSIONS
Jazz is music. It's also community. Jazz Sessions at The Venue will bring both music and community together on our indoor stage on the 2nd Thursday of every month. Join us for live jazz featuring Jonny Gifford and his band. Then have a chance to join in on the session. Sign up at the show.
JONNY GIFFORD
� From an early age, drummer Jonny Gifford has been around a wide array of sounds. Whether it be the Bee Gees or Doobie Brothers from his dad, Dave Brubeck and Nickel Creek from his mom, Backstreet Boys and Blink-182 from his sister, or the 8-bit melodies from his precious Game Boy, Jonny has nurtured a love for all kinds of music.
Originally from Central Massachusetts, Jonny made his way to Northern Illinois University. There, he had the privilege of studying with fantastic professors and musicians such as Mike Mixtacki, Gregory Beyer, Cliff Alexis, Liam Teague, Robert Chappell, and many others. During his time there, he continued to cultivate his passion for all genres, participating in the NIU Steelband, jazz combos, percussion ensemble, and more. While jazz may be the primary focus, his love for other styles always seeps through, whether it be how he plays or tune selection.
The Venue is brought to you by Fox Valley Music Foundation, dedicated to local music awareness, education and preservation. themusicvenue.org
