What we’re about
This Meetup group is for people who love Live Music. From jazz to jam bands, funk to fusion, blues to bluegrass, country to classical.
Let's face it. Almost any music that is played well is a delight to listen to. When you think of all the time, energy, and passion that goes into being a musician, we give back by supporting live music in the Triangle.
Members are encouraged to voice their ideas and suggestions for the Meetups scheduled.
Let's all work together to keep Jazz and Blues alive in the Triangle and Triad areas!

See all- Live Jazz: Michael Hawkins and the BrotherhoodSharp 9 Gallery, Durham, NC
I've heard Michael Hawkins perform for more than a decade in RVA where he's a fixture of the RIchmond jazz scene.
Michael Hawkins is a versatile and well-rounded virtuoso Jazz bassist, playing and writing in multiple sub-genres and on both acoustic and electric bass.
Hawkins has recorded and toured extensively with acclaimed pianist Cyrus Chestnut who sites Hawkins as a member of his primary group (http://www.cyruschestnut.net/frames/bio_frame.html).
He resides permanently in Richmond, Virginia with his wife and children. He performs frequently with several local groups and artists, such as Sketches, under the leadership of guitarist Gene Pendleton. As of this writing, he recently performed in the 2014 Richmond Jazz Festival with local trumpet player Victor Haskins.Michael Hawkins - bass
