THE SHED SESSIONS | Learn Jazz Standards From Professionals

THE SHED SESSIONS | Learn Jazz Standards From Professionals

The Shed Sessions is an event presented by The Center for Musical Arts.

Lead by Daniel J Owens, Joey Archie, & Nate Furgason, the sessions are a way to learn jazz one tune at a time.

In Jazz, to shed means to do focused practicing to improve oneself. And in that tradition, we will learn tunes by listening to historic recordings, learn lyrics, original keys, learning the tune by ear, learning the scales/chords, playing in all keys, learning famous solos, and more.

Daniel J Owens is an award-winning composer, pianist, trombonist, and poet in Sacramento, CA. After a performing career in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City, he founded The Center for Musical Arts. His current project “Wizard Robot” fuses Jazz, Folk, and Electronic music to create experiences that feel both old and new.

Joey Archie is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, and arranger hailing from Sacramento, CA. As an artist, he believes that his music should always spread the message of love, compassion, and humanity. Joey has released multiple albums, Good Vibes, Vol.1 & 2. He co-founded Vibe Street Band and is a member of Lab Rats and Cosmic Roots.

Nate Furgason began playing jazz at age ten with his father, gigging in Northern California and the Bay Area while exploring various genres. Mr. Furgason earned a Bachelor’s in Music from California State University Chico in 2011, performing with the award-winning Chico Jazz Collective.
