Room3 is a jazz fusion wild card rooted in tradition yet driven by experimentation. Their sound is imaginative, melodic, and rhythmically sharp, mixing elements of bebop, contemporary jazz, prog rock, funk, and more. The collective operates out of Minneapolis and most commonly appears as a five-piece, with Eli Awada on keyboards, Wormdove (aka Beck Anderson) on bass, RAWTWHYLAH (aka Colin Mitchell) on drums, Evan Espinoza Robles on percussion, and Mike Green on guitar. Room3 has performed at prestigious venues across the Twin Cities for over three years and recently received the 2026 McKnight Artist Fellowship for Musicians, administered by the MacPhail Center for Music. Their debut album, Bill's Garden, is out now on all streaming platforms.
Saxophonist Laeton Olaleye is a rising talent in the Twin Cities jazz scene. He has performed in venues including the Dakota, Crooners, Jazz Central Studios, and the Twin Cities Jazz Festival with renowned artists including Omar Abdulkarim, Tom Lewis, and Will Kjeer. He has also played in New York City, Chicago, and Louisville. He has received instruction from acclaimed jazz artists Kevin Washington, Scott Johnson, Jack Breen, and Kavyesh Kaviraj. Olaleye’s captivating style has been influenced by Patrick Bartley, Arthur Blythe, John Coltrane, and Cannonball Adderley, along with many other greats.
