A native of Detroit, MI, his musical background includes some earnest dues-paying in a variety of genres. From square dance bands to string quartets, from jamming with blues bands to busking in Greektown, Evan's youthful pursuits all informed his violin-playing and left him with a deep love of chamber music in all forms. As a young competitive fiddler he won his share of awards, having been named the U.S. Scottish Fiddling Champion, the Kentucky State Fiddle Champion, Canadian Junior Fiddle Champion, and Canadian Novelty Fiddling Champion. He also performed with some of the masters of fiddle lore—Stephane Grappelli, Johnny Frigo, Claude "Fiddler" Williams, Johnny Gimble, Buddy Spicher, and Vassar Clements—as well as a diverse array of pop icons from Stevie Wonder and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to comedian, Steven Wright.See here for more... https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/1a1713c0-8348-11f1-8a8c-3fe57d70e589-rimg-w493-h740-dc2f2f2f-gmir.jpg Dmitri Yevstifeev, violinDmitri Yevstifeev is a San Francisco based Violist, Violinist and freelance musician.

Originally trained in classical piano, he discovered jazz during college, via Weather Report albums — a turning point that deepened his musical voice through improvisation.While pursuing doctoral research in quantum computing at the University of California, Berkeley, he began playing in ensembles at the California Jazz Conservatory and UC Jazz, learning from mentors such as Glenn Richman and Marcos Silva. He also studied composition with professors Cindy Cox and Myra Melford to broaden his creative palette through experimental and collaborative work.To Unpil, music is a way of connecting people across boundaries — a language that speaks through feeling, form, and presence. Whether performing, composing, or improvising, he treats music as an offering: honest, responsive, and shaped by both structure and spontaneity. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1af40640-8348-11f1-957f-f1f06462340d-rimg-w592-h740-dc1e1d1d-gmir.jpg Dash Goss-Post, percussionDash Goss-Post is an LA based drummer with a BA in Global Jazz Studies from UCLA where he studied with musicians such as Clayton Cameron, Arturo O’Farrill, and Hitomi Oba.
