Two-time Grammy winner violinist Mads Tolling, six-time DownBeat Magazine International Critics Poll winner guitarist Mimi Fox, and internationally acclaimed bassist and vocalist Jeff Denson, have forged their musical talents in a new group, the San Francisco String Trio. “May I Introduce to You” is the trio’s debut album and a loving homage to the classic Beatles record on its 50th anniversary. Much like the Beatles drew on an array of traditions and styles in crafting Sgt. Pepper’s, the cooperative ensemble approaches each song as an opportunity to imbue supremely familiar songs applying a multi-dimensional approach to produce innovative arrangements weaving together sounds of jazz, pop, rock, swing to present a fun and memorable live concert.

Doors open at 6 pm, cash bar. Event begins at 7 pm.

This concerts is brought to you by Reno’s “For the Love of Jazz” for more information on FTLOJ, please click here.
