Join us on Tuesday June 28 for our Bellamy's Lounge Happy Hour Series starting at 5pm, a FREE show featuring Craig Brenan Trio, part of TD @td_canada Edmonton International Jazz Festival. Read more through the link in our bio. Craig has never been one to sit still for long. His music ranges from genre defining electronic jazz to post-bebop hard swinging quintets, sextets and, contemplative through composed chamber jazz that explore wind instruments to their fullest. Craig has always explored the possibilities of sound and has been hard to label, as he is continually unafraid to seek the ‘unknown’. During this life of sonic exploration, a constant has always been present. Good people, good music, and a great sound has been the standard that Craig’s projects all contain. With this latest offering we get a striped down, bare, melodic ensemble that brings us back to his musical roots.

His music weds incisive, expressive songwriting with the profound interplay Lage has honed over the past few years with his deft trio featuring bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Dave King.
