Violinist Dave Kline has performed with the legendary Chick Corea, Grammy-winning gypsy jazz guitarist Stephane Wrembel, Grammy-winning saxophonist David Murray (co-founder World Saxophone Quartet), Grammy-winning composer D.D. Jackson, Grammy-winning violinist Zach Brock (Snarky Puppy). Dave’s shows are known for their high intensity and exhilaration, and his unusual, stunning compositions combining beauty and power, stretching the violin from jazz to funk to blues and beyond. His most recent CD "Shifting Borders" charted #1 on the Roots Music Jazz Chart for 16 weeks.
Tim Kaine needs no introduction in this town. He lights up the stage and club every time with his humanity, stories and camaraderie. It is a joy to collaborate on these shows with Tim! From Roots to Blues to R&B, Tim has performed with Willie Nelson, Jon Batiste, Aimee Mann, Bruce Hornsby and Ricky Scaggs amongst others.
Abena Koomson-Davis is a powerhouse vocalist and has shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs) and Angelique Kidjo. She is our Special Guest of Honor for this Juneteenth show, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. She is the musical director for the Women’s March Resistance Revival Chorus. She also released her own debut album (Where Is Love, 2024) as well as appearing on Steve Davis’ latest album (We See, 2024).
The jazz resume of Grammy-winning trombonist Steve Davis is monumental - Chick Corea, Art Blakey, Jackie McLean, Freddie Hubbard, Benny Golson, Slide Hampton, Jimmy Heath, Horace Silver, Roy Hargrove, to name a few of the international stars Steve has performed and recorded with! Special venues include the Jimmy Fallon show (with Stevie Wonder), and the White House for a tribute to Ray Charles. Nearly 200 recordings as a band leader, including 4 weeks at #1 on the JazzWeek radio charts and several months in the top 10 for Bluesthetic (2022). Steve Davis joined Chick Corea's Origin in 1997 and continued to work alongside the legendary Multi-Grammy winning pianist / composer for the next twenty-two years.
The band will include Buddy Speir electric guitar, TJ Turqman electric bass, Olaolu Ajibade drums - all stellar players in their own right!
