“groups of young virtuosos rarely sound so connected” – Jazz 88
With Featured Guests DeCarlo Jackson, MMYYKK, iLLism, Madame Blu, LA Buckner, David Feily, Mike Green, Jada Lynn, and Alex Browne
Room3 is a jazz fusion wild card rooted in tradition yet driven by experimentation. Their sound is imaginative, playful and rhythmically sharp, mixing elements of bebop, contemporary jazz, prog rock, funk and more. Here, the collective currently operates out of Minneapolis, most commonly as a five-piece. The band features RAWTWHYLAH (aka Colin Mitchell) on drums, Beck Anderson on bass, Eli Awada on keyboards, Jovon Williams on tenor and soprano saxophone, and Evan Espinoza Robles on percussion. Also, each member is a student of their craft with a unique approach to their instrument. Furthermore, they share a willingness to push boundaries.
Room3 has performed consistently at venues across the Twin Cities, from The Dakota to the First Avenue Mainroom. Additionally, they were recently selected as one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands of 2024. Their debut album, Bill’s Garden, is out April 20, 2025.
“Discovering the world of room3 is like watching a Miyazaki film for the first time.” – Natalia Toledo of The Current
“The group commands the firepower of a group stacked with virtuosic young players. But groups of young virtuosos rarely sound so connected while playing music together.” – Sean McPherson of Jazz88
Recommended for fans of Chick Corea, Weather Report, Snarky Puppy and Ezra Collective.
