Event Description
Bria Skonberg made the jump from Chilliwack to New York City shortly after her appearance at TD JazzFest in 2010 where guitarist John Pizzarelli sat in on one of her gigs. Once in New York, she was asked to perform with Bucky Pizzarelli and Nicholas Payton, and she quickly made her way onto the cover of JazzTimes for their September, 2014 issue. A triple threat as vocalist, trumpeter, and composer, the well-traveled Skonberg has forged an interesting amalgam of New Orleans jazz-blues with touches of swing, pop, and world music. Evan Arntzen clarinet/saxophone, Sean Cronin bass, Darrian Douglas drums, Dalton Ridenhour piano
“Bria Skonberg plays trumpet like a red hot devil and sings like a dream.” – Wall Street Journal
