The Josh Rawlings Trio delivers a masterclass in musical intuition, built on a brotherhood that began at Cornish College of the Arts in 2001. After nearly 25 years of performing together, pianist Josh Rawlings, bassist Nate Omdal, and drummer Adam Kessler share a seamless rapport that allows them to pivot effortlessly between deep jazz grooves, swinging blues, and soulful pop classics. Their seasoned musicianship is anchored by the leadership of Josh Rawlings, a Grammy-nominated and Platinum-certified artist known for his signature piano work on major global hits.

The JRT brings passionate energy and musical chemistry to each and every song they play. Together they specialize in captivating and genuine performances reminiscent of Trios by the likes of Oscar Peterson, Gene Harris, and Bill Evans. Their evolution is documented across two acclaimed albums, Climbing Stairs (2008) and Swell (2016), which showcase the versatility and heart they bring to every stage. Attendees can expect a captivating evening of genuine artistry and the high-energy connection only a decades-long partnership can produce.
