Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series presents "After Ours" and "The Charlie Ballantine Trio"!
2 for 1 Concert at Merrimans' Playhouse! "After Ours" will start out the concert, followed by "The Charlie Ballantine Trio" for the second set.
"After Ours" is a self-described "head-nod-jazz" duo from South Bend, IN comprised of Eli Kahn (guitars & madness) & Arthur Schroeder (drumset) with a unique approach to improvisation & dynamic range. Having worked together for 9+ years as the rhythm section in different group settings ranging from traditional jazz combos to hip-hop to big-band to avante-garde to folk, the two musicians have developed a tight chemistry that translates to their original music & interpretations of contemporary tunes.
