Bobby Broom Trio

Showtimes:   7pm-8:15pm & 9pm-10:15pm

Guitarist Bobby Broom’s love of jazz has never blocked out his affection for the pop music which he grew up with. It’s been a frequent wellspring throughout his career. “It’s a lot of what I do,” he acknowledges. “Material is material, and I’m just trying to do things that are interesting to me and that I feel might be interesting to people.”

Soul Fingers, his joyful 2018 release with his organ trio The Organi-Sation, produced by legendary drummer Steve Jordan, presents a whole album’s worth of such interesting things.

Drawn from Broom’s favorite songs of his childhood in the 1960s and ’70s, the album runs the gamut from The Beatles and Procul Harum to Bobbie Gentry and Motown. It’s a path that has won Broom an impressive following, and significant acclaim, both within and outside his home base of Chicago.

Thursday & Friday Bobby will be joined by Dennis Carrol on Bass and Kyle Swan on Drums.  Saturday will feature Neil Hemphill on Drums.
