Ryan Garmoe and Patrick Adkins will present original compositions alongside a few favorite jazz standards.
Ryan Garmoe is a Minneapolis-based trumpeter and composer. He leads Wave Cage, a fusion group recently awarded a Jazz Road Tours grant to tour the Midwest. Their debut, Even You Can See in the Dark, was released on Shifting Paradigm Records in 2023. Beyond Wave Cage, Garmoe writes and performs for various small ensembles and recently released an ambient collection called Sketches. His appearances include Twin Cities Jazz Festival, ArtPrize International Art Competition, Iowa City Jazz Festival, 80/35, Mission Creek, GDP, Greeley Jazz Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Iowa Soul Festival, and 515 Alive.
Patrick Adkins is an inventive, empathetic Minneapolis-based pianist and composer. An in-demand band leader and sideman all over town, Adkins 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. Adkins 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.
