Ken Vandermark and Paal Nilssen-Love
Earshot Jazz is excited to welcome back the dynamic duo of Ken Vandermark and Paal Nilssen-Love to The Royal Room, for the first time since 2015. Vandermark and Nilssen-Love first began working together with the group School Days, which later became a trio called FME, along with Nate McBride on bass. From there, they continued their collaboration as a duo.

Walk the Block
Hosted by Wa Na Wari, the art walk is not only a fundraiser for the organization, but also as a glimpse of its vision of what the Central District could become.
Eric Vloeimans & Will Holshouser
Listeners can expect a satisfying blend of challenging and familiar elements as whistleable tunes meld into soundscapes, folk elements drive rhythmic pulses, and melodic and inventive playing rule the day.
Shai Maestro
The gift of Maestro’s playing is that he doesn’t give in to virtuosity; he’s focused on creating something larger. That might come from his recent work scoring for films, or just from the fact that he’s comfortable enough with ECM now to let there be more space and room in his music.
Artemis
Taking their name and spirit from the Greek goddess of the hunt, ARTEMIS embodies strength, exploration, leadership, and a force that is both fierce and playful. Each member of the multi-generational, multi-national group offers a distinct musical personality, which makes for impressive versatility on the stage.
