Tim Mirth’s and crew are excited to return to perform at the Bop Stop! They will be presenting new compositions and arrangements, as well as different bassist, the great Jeremey Poparad.

Tickets to this event are $15 in advance, $20 day of show. This event will also be livestreamed on BOP STOP's Youtube Channel at showtime. Accessing the stream is free but donations are encouraged and directly support the band.

"There is something about a guitar trio that is so freeing" Tim says about his group. "While larger groups are a lot of fun, and a lot more of the load is shared among the players, a guitar trio allows for maximum creativity and reach. You have so much more control and freedom of the arrangement of the piece, and improvisations, but this comes with a lot of responsibility to keep it together, the safety nets are gone."

Compositions inspired by the work of musicians such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wes Montgomery, Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau, plus artists as vast as Radiohead, Wagner, Philip Glass, James Brown, and Kendrick Lamar, the band brings together jazz tradition with ears of a modern music fan.

Tim Mirth's trio consists of:

• Jeremey Popard on bass
• Tony Kazel on drums
• Tim Mirth on guitar
