SUMMARY:Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio
DESCRIPTION:Rob Flax is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, and educator with a playful heart and an open mind. He describes his music in a concise way: “I play things with strings\, I hit stuff\, and I sing.” Behind this simple tag line lies a rich depth of genre-bending\, from classical and jazz violin to bluegrass fiddle\, to blues and rock influences\, and beyond. Rob has performed nationally and internationally with groups of many different styles\, including opening for B.B. King and Tower of Power\, playing viola and violin with the Trans Siberian Orchestra and YouTube star Jacob Collier\, upright bass in an Argentine tango ensemble\, mandolin and fiddle in various bluegrass bands\, electric violin and synthesizers in Billy Wylder and several other rock bands\, collaborations with modern dancers\, and more. As a composer Rob has written music for choreographers\, film (including work on projects for James Franco and Anthony Bourdain)\, and several original projects. Rob is a graduate of the New England Conservatory\, and he currently lives in Boston. \nSlava Tolstoy is a Boston based guitarist\, singer and producer\, originally from St. Petersburg Russia. Slava’s original songs are best described as energetic pop-rock with tight arrangements\, virtuoso soloing and deep and meaningful lyrics in the best traditions of Russian rock. World class musicians\, including Grammy winners and nominees were carefully selected to play in Slava’s band and on his latest studio album – “Songs About the Sea” (Песни Про Море). Between 2018-2020 Slava has recorded and performed in a duo with Fedor Chistyakov – the leader of a legendary rock band “Nol”. One of Slava’s most known projects is International String Trio that fuses Jazz Manouche with World Music\, this group has toured across USA many times and gained significant national recognition. \nChris Sartori is a bassist\, percussionist\, and multi-instrumentalist currently based out of Boston. Throughout 10+ years touring nationally with Americana genre-defiers\, Twisted Pine\, Chris has studiously carved out a niche as the funkiest bassist in bluegrass. A graduate of the Jazz program at Umass Amherst\, Chris is a lifelong student of music\, dedicated to groove\, improvisation\, and bringing the music to life each night. Chris has had the privilege of traveling around the world exploring and innovating with fellow Americana/bluegrass pioneers such as Peter Rowan\, Danny Barnes\, Tray Wellington\, the Faux Paws\, and Twisted Pine\, playing notable venues and music festivals from Anchorage\, Alaska to Accra\, Ghana.
