First time trio. Two sets.

PATRICK HOLMES (clarinet) was born and raised in Austin, TX. He has performed with Sabir Mateen, Federico Ughi, Ryan Sawyer, Daniel Carter, Brandon Lopez, Conny Crothers, Norman Westberg, Bob Bert, Chris Corsano, Jon Gibson, 5 dollar Priest, James Brandon Lewis the Utter Nots and more.

LESTER ST. LOUIS (cello) is a New York City born and based Multi-instrumentalist, composer and curator. Lester has worked in, performed and created in artistic environments in The United States, Canada, South America, Europe and China with groups and artists such as Dré Hočevar Trio, Jaimie Branch Fly or Die, Ensemble Adapter, TAK Ensemble and many more. As a composer, Lester has been commissioned by artists such as the JACK Quartet, Mahan Esfahani and Stefan Jackiw, RAGE THORMBONES, Lauren Cauley and others. In the near future Lester will be continuing to develop groups such as MADD (with Dré Hočevar and Leafar) as well as TRANSFER (with Jordan Balaber, Daniel Brew and Rocío Bolaños) along with many new ventures.

CHRIS CORSANO (drums) is a New York-based drummer who's been working at the intersections of free jazz, rock, and experimental music since the late '90s. He's been the rim-batterer of choice for some of the greatest contemporary purveyors of "jazz" (Joe McPhee, Evan Parker, Mette Rasmussen) and "rock" (Sir Richard Bishop, Bill Orcutt, Jim O'Rourke), as well as artists beyond categorization (Björk for her Volta album and world tour, Michael Flower, Okkyung Lee). He's built a highly inventive musical language through ecstatic free improvisation, extended percussion techniques, and the augmentation of his kit with circular-breathed reeds and bowed strings to coax new resonances out of the drums' heads. Corsano's been called "one of the world's great drummers" by The Guardian, an "ace of the avant-garde" by The New York Times, and "arguably the most riotously energetic and creative drummer in contemporary free jazz" by Wire Magazine.
