⊹
Patrick Adkins is an inventive, empathetic Minneapolis-based pianist and composer. An in-demand band leader and sideman all over town, Patrick has made his mark on the Twin Cities jazz scene, performing at jazz festivals across the Midwest and sharing the bandstand with luminaries such as JT Bates, Dean Magraw, Davu Seru, Michelle Kinney, and Brandon Wozniak. Patrick is a member of the modern jazz collective SPACE (which has released the albums "The Approaching Coast” and "Non-Trivial Problem"), and he branches out from piano to synthesizers for the indie glam-pop band d'Lakes.
Charlie Bruber (Society of Chemists, TABAH, Black Market Brass) started studying music using the Suzuki piano method but fell in love with electric bass as a 13-year-old after hearing Metallica bassist Cliff Burton's work on “(Anesthesia) — Pulling Teeth.” He released his first solo album, Finding the Muse, in 2023. He has also played on, engineered and/or produced albums and songs by his friends PaviElle French, Kevin Gastonguay, Cole Pulice, Lynn Avery, Murphy Janssen, and Jack Barrett at his studio, 8vB.
Ben Ehrlich is a drummer, educator, and composer based in Minneapolis, MN. After studying with Ed Soph and graduating from the University of North Texas in 2018, Ben moved back to his home state and quickly became one of the top call drummers in the Twin Cities jazz scene. Recognized for his versatility, Ben has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Randy Brecker, Kurt Elling, Diane Schuur, Jens Lindemann, Davina and the Vagabonds, Javier Santiago, the JazzMN Orchestra, Leslie Vincent, and many others, including rock, blues and indie artists from around the country.
