Bryan Shaw’s
Hot Shots (Orange County, CA)
Last year, Bryan Shaw joined us as a guest artist after being away from his music for a while. Bryan had fun and our attendees had a ball. Every set Bryan sat in with was raised to another level. So, we asked Bryan to “come back with a band”. And, he is. Just the list of musicians will tell you what to expect. It is going to be “hot” and tight – played the way you like it. This will be fun. Members include: Bryan Shaw, trumpet, leader; Evan Arntzen, reeds, vocals; ___________, trombone; Katie Cavera, string bass, vocals; Brad Roth, banjo; Clint Baker, drums; Ray Templin, piano. |
