Adrian West Band

Adrian West Trio will perform at Aroma Roasters from 2 - 4. Free show. (Tips appreciated). Adrian West Trio is the "intimate" version of the Adrian West Band, which is a five-piece acoustic rock ensemble from Oakland. They play a fun mix of originals, covers and instrumentals plus a bit of jazz. Some have described their sound as “Paul Simon meets Talking Heads”. A native of Montreal, Adrian’s approach to songwriting is “music first, lyrics second”. In other words, he likes his songs to stand on their own musically independent of the lyrics. Whether telling a silly story or grappling with some challenge facing humanity, his lyrics are infused with equal parts hope, clear-eyed realism and lighthearted whimsy. Trio Musicians: Adrian West - vocals, acoustic guitar, elec. violin & live looping Genevieve Basile - vocals, percussion Alexis Tsamoudakis - upright bass
