Samirah Evans Trio

 —  —

1794 Meeting House, 26 S. Main Street, New Salem, MA

From Samirah Evans: "I'm very happy to return to this wonderful historical venue where I haven't performed since the year before the pandemic. I so appreciate the board of directors for welcoming me back regularly since my debut in 2009, just a few years after moving to New England. This will be my first time performing there without any members of "My Handsome Devils", I will certainly miss them. Nevertheless, I have two incredible musicians accompanying me to make for a very tasty and exciting show; including Trumpeter Haneef Nelson who you may have seen lighting up the stage with me over the past two years, and an extremely impressive young pianist Andrew Wilcox who Haneef has mentored. Wilcox was recommenced to me by a veteran pianist to sub for him at one my concerts. He blew me away as he is talented way beyond his years. Apparently grammy award nominee, Jazzmeia Horn had a similar experience with Andrew. Now, THAT"S a big feather in his cap! Undoubtedly, both accompanist will knock your socks off."
