| It has been a while since The Wee Trio has been in touch with you, our dear fans. But we have been busy on and behind the scenes and there is a lot coming up. Here’s the scoop!
WEST COAST TOUR
CANADA TOUR The Trio ventures onto foreign soil for the first time this winter. We are excited to play at the Ottawa Jazz Festival on February 3rd. Stay tuned for additional dates in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City.
LIVE ALBUM I saw some of my earliest jazz concerts (this is Dan, wee bassist extraordinaire) at Jazz at The Bistro, the great club in my hometown of St. Louis. I got to see Ray Brown for the first time there along with a whole lot of other jazz greats. So it means a lot to me to return to the Bistro for our third time this February and record a live album! We have been workshopping and rehearsing new music for the record here in LA…. and things are sounding really exciting!
WEE WEE ONES For you baby fans out there… we’ve got a new (and cute!) one for you! Already 7 months old, Finn Dean Davidson Loomis has yet to officially announced in our newsletters. He was born March 28th, 2012 (a day before my birthday — nice brithday present!). Jared has already started him on drum lessons
Hope to see you at a show soon!
