Grammy-nominated organist Pat Bianchi has toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe, and, in recent years, his trio has opened for Steely Dan. In addition to being a prolific bandleader, Bianchi was a longtime member of the trio led by late guitar icon Pat Martino as well as NEA Jazz Master Lou Donaldson’s Quartet. Pat has also enjoyed tenured memberships in the bands of some of the most highly revered artists in jazz, including Joe Locke, Chuck Loeb and Ralph Peterson Jr.
Dan Wilson’s musical identity has been shaped by everything from gospel and blues to traditional jazz and hip-hop. He performed to worldwide acclaim with Joey DeFrancesco and Christian McBride’s Tip City and earned a Grammy nomination for DeFrancesco’s Project Freedom album. In 2023, Dan released his fourth album “Things Eternal,” which received critical acclaim worldwide and led to a tour of major festivals in the U.S. and abroad.
