9pm: Daniel Kelly Trio
Making connections is one of Daniel Kelly's strengths, whether it's exploring connections across or between art forms or engaging with audiences. Kelly's music has been declared "powerfully moving" by Time Out New York, and he has brought his dynamic talents to performances with GRAMMY award winning jazz legends Michael Brecker and Joe Lovano, hip-hop star Lauryn Hill, and modern classical giants the Bang on a Can All-Stars, to name a few. Kelly's Brooklyn-based trio features bassist Matt Pavolka and drummer Rob Garcia.
