Daniel Bruce's Ohm Trio
December 14 & 15 @ 8:00 PM

Daniel Bruce - Guitar
Jordan McBride - Bass
Gabe Jones - Drums

This trio believes in high-energy original music, forceful and dis8nc8ve grooves, and the healing  power of vamps. The chemistry between Dan Bruce (electric and acous8c guitars), Jordan  McBride (electric bass), and Gabe Jones (drums) is evident from the first note, as they invite the  audience to join them for a communal night of music. 

Ohm’s music is rooted in funky grooves and rock inflec8ons, while giving a nod to jazz tradi8ons.  Their technical prowess is unmistakable, but it is their irresis8ble energy and accessibility that  draws in audiences. 

“A perfect balance between the known and the exploratory” 

-C. Andrew Hovan, All About Jazz 

“...a generous, accessible sound with an exploratory edge, Bruce brings a finely-polished  technique that is at the same 8me subtly discontent, searching for new expressions and willing  to take some chances along the way”. 

-Troy Dostert, All About Jazz
