Trumpet Sensation Bria Skonberg at Bickford Theatre

Youthful trumpet sensation Bria Skonberg has assembled a true all-star group made up of Jim Fryer (trombone), Joe Midiri (reeds), Kevin Dorn (drums), Gordon Webster (hot piano) and Kelly Friesen (string bass), for this date.

A star on both the Canadian and American traditional jazz circuits since her teens, Skonberg is among a group of brilliant young musicians who are revitalizing the classic jazz of past eras.

She's appeared at more jazz festivals worldwide than we can possibly name in this space, always bringing a fresh approach to the music she presents. She "has a big sound, impressive technique, and a thoughtful way of constructing phrases."

Come out and hear her easy, rangy command of the horn, wicked dexterity with the plunger mute and charming, unforced singing.
