We are proud to share with you a collaboration of two of Portland’s hardest working bands The Colin Trio and Ben Rice and the PDX Hustle. These bands are joining forces in celebration of the newest album release Didn’t Mean To from the Colin Trio. Get ready for an evening of genre bending music from soul, jazz, and blues to funk and rock.
The Colin Trio, led by the fierce composer, musician, producer and yogi Colin Hogan, will take you on a musical adventure that defies genre or definition. Together with Cheo Larcombe on percussion and Brian Link on bass, the Trio will leave you wondering, “how is that just three people?” and, “what possible turn could come next?” Experience songs of joy, suffering, love, acceptance, anger and forgiveness, heartfully delivered by a band that achieves a tightness that only comes from thousands of hours of sharing the stage together.
Come see what happens when one of Portland’s go-to backing bands is left to their own devices.
