TRIO SUBTONIC - This trio evolved from a long-time collaboration between keyboardist Galen Clark and drummer Jesse Brooke. After spending the winter of 2005 abroad studying music, Jesse and Galen returned to Portland and teamed up with bassist Bill Athens. The resulting mix of groove-based improvisation, instrumental funk, and rhythm and blues began to develop as the members continued to write and freelance in projects of various genres in the Pacific Northwest and tour on both coasts.

The trio recorded their first album "The Aqueous" in 2007, following it with the acclaimed "Cave Dweller" in 2009. With the latest release of "I'll Meet You There Tomorrow" in 2012, it has become apparent that their unique brand of jazz is becoming recognized both for listening and for thumping the floor.

SpeechLess is a dynamic ensemble that packs a cool mix of groove-oriented jazz, pulsing r&b and instrumental funk. Their tight driving arrangements, interlaced with improvisation, deliver a scenic sonic journey. "It's a great band: great writing, great playing, killer grooves. Who needs words?"
