GBH Jazz Night with Devon Gates (Boston Public Library)
GBH Jazz Nights welcomes Tree Greetings, the acoustic duo of bassist/vocalist Devon Gates and guitarist Ria Modak. Blending jazz, Hindustani, folk, and other traditions, their ruminative compositions strike a balance between melancholy and romance. Their debut single, Shisha (April 2025), is streaming now. They’ve performed across Boston, New York, and most recently toured Mumbai, India. A debut album arrives in 2026. Named one of The New York City Jazz Record’s “Up and Comers of the Year” in 2024, Devon Gates is an Atlanta-born bassist, vocalist, and award-winning composer now based in Brooklyn. Gates is a graduate of Harvard and Berklee. Ria Modak, a guitarist, composer, and historian from New York, is pursuing a PhD at Brown on music and nationalism in India, after completing the Harvard/NEC dual degree program.
GBH Jazz Nights showcase the incredible range of jazz talent in the Greater Boston area. The series is co-hosted by JazzBoston and GBH Music, taking place on the second Thursday of every month from September through May. Tickets are free, but registration is encouraged. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive early! By registering, you agree to receive email communications from GBH Music.
GBH Jazz Nights are made possible by the Goldstein Family Fund.
