We are here every Thursday bringing you local musicians to make noise at the library! The Nick Grondin Group has been actively performing in the Boston jazz community since 2008, as well as performances in New York City, France, and Italy. Their album, A View of Earth was featured in Down Beat Magazine and the Italian, Guitar Club Magazine. They believe in bringing together diverse musicians to play creative music that is accessible to new jazz listeners, with the goal of creating new audiences for jazz of the Twenty- First Century. Informed by the jazz tradition, they mix in the sounds of blues, folk, rock and funk, with familiar songs and sounds from popular music to create innovative arrangements in a jazz setting. They blend the sounds of guitar, vocals, saxophones, keyboards, bass and drums into a melodic tapestry, which also features the players unique improvisational voices. Nick Grondin has been an active educator in the Boston area since 2008, first at ZUMIX in East Boston, and later at Harvard, Berklee and the New England Conservatory, where he also completed his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Jazz Performance in May 2023. Join us for an evening of music, wine, and food. Registration is encouraged for this free event.
