MR. CHAIR: THE MODERN CLASSICAL BAND | JT'S ELECTRIK BLACKOUT: CONTEMPORARY FUSION Joining us from Wisconsin en route to a music festival in New York, MR. CHAIR looks like a jazz combo, enchants like a string quartet, and electrifies like a rock band, all while delighting listeners with their fresh and authentic sound. As classically-trained musicians well-versed in jazz, electronics, prog rock, world music and beyond, Mr. Chair is a contemporary fusion ensemble for music fans of all backgrounds. Their compositions are long-form journeys - sometimes delicate and sweet, sometimes thrashing with unbridled energy and conviction. Their sound palette is diverse, and used to tell stories in styles cinematic, surreal, romantic, funky, whimsical, and always captivating. They perform original works as well as their own arrangements of iconic pieces from Stravinsky to Bach. Mr. Chair can fit any size room. They design acoustic shows for intimate cabaret settings all the way up to thrilling concert hall performances with full string orchestras. JT'S ELECTRIK BLACKOUT, led by saxophonist Justin Tibbs, combines elements of Jazz, Fusion, R&B and Rock to define the groups sound. Their deft use of dynamics and texture keep the crowd perched on the edge of their seats! In addition to Tibbs, the band features Jared Lees: Bass, Holbrook Riles III, and Andru Dennis: Piano.Andru Dennis: Piano.
