THE AARON BLEWETT

VILLAGE BAND
8.30 - 11.00

A project focused on capturing & crafting a truly unique sound aesthetic with elements of jazz, avant-garde, and electronica stylings. Led by composer & drummer Aaron Blewett, he has crafted his sound and the band’s sound through mentors guiding his trajectory, such as Nancy Walker, Larnell Lewis, and Ernesto Cervini. They have been playing for around 2 years together, but have only just begun showcasing their sound in the last half-year in preparation for their upcoming debut album pegged to come out later next year.

ALEX BIRD & THE JAZZ MAVERICKS
