Musical Style: Jazz

The Dawn Clement Trio, hailing from the vibrant music scene at MSU Denver, embodies the essence of contemporary jazz. Composed of the virtuosic Dawn Clement on piano and vocals, Patrick McDevitt's dynamic bass rhythms, and the spirited percussive stylings of Dru Heller, they bring storytelling to life through their music. Inspired by the like of ECM Records' finest and pianists like Jaki Byard and Blossom Dearie, their performances are intimate dialogues in melody and rhythm. They offer audiences more than mere shows—they gift sonic odysseys that resonate with emotion and sophistication.

Every note played is an invitation to explore a rich tapestry of innovative jazz that pushes beyond the expected. With each song crafted as an expressive scenic voyage, the trio captivates and conjures depth and wonder within their listeners. The Dawn Clement Trio isn't just playing music; they're changing the Denver jazz landscape, melding heart and harmony to nourish the soul of every listener they touch.
