Charlie Reichert Powell and New River

New River weaves, molds objects, plants gardens. The trio's sound and approach is born from Charlie's love for structuring improvisation, puzzles, repetition, and the outdoors, and is nestled somewhere between John Coltrane, Tom Waits, and Ryoji Ikeda. Their debut album releases later this year.

Raised in Chicago, Charlie Reichert Powell is currently based in Baltimore, where he leads his own group, New River, but his wide breadth of influences and skill sets allow him to chameleon to any artistic situation he is in: he has played guitar and bass for artists from Brandon Woody to Wic Whitney to Warren Wolf, in settings from fully composed to fully improvised; has composed for dance, multimedia/installation works, big band, sinfonietta; and produced extensively both under his solo alias Zephire and for singer/songwriter Ellie Banke. A graduate from Peabody Institute, he studied jazz guitar with Matthew Stevens and Marvin Sewell.

Aidan Taylor is a nineteen-year-old musician from West Palm Beach, Florida. Currently, he is a junior at Peabody Institute, where he is studying bass with Kris Funn.
