Chloe White w/ Too Phat Brass Band
Chloe White hails from North Carolina with a strong pull towards hard bop, fusion and traditional jazz repertoire. As a child she studied Suzuki piano and spent many evenings listening to bluegrass and jazz in Asheville, NC. After graduating from the School of Inquiry and Life Sciences she studied music performance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program. Her time in school led to many opportunities including touring/leading her own quintet, arranging music for UNCG’s Big Band, producing content for UNCG’s college radio station; WUAG 103.1, and competing in the 2022 Jack Rudin Competition. Too Phat Brass Band is a high-energy New Orleans-style second-line band based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Blending traditional brass band roots with funk, soul, hip hop, and modern jazz, Too Phat brings infectious grooves and an unmistakable vibe to every performance. Whether parading through festivals, rocking club stages, or setting the vibe at private events, the band delivers an unforgettable experience with bold horns, driving rhythms, and a spirit that gets people moving.
Asher White, Hotspit, and Panes
As a multi-instrumentalist and producer, Asher White’s auteurish pop vision is vulgar and transcendent: marrying skittering noise with swooping strings, lively banjo with blasts of feedback, dissonant flutes with elegant bossa nova. Since the early 2010s she has developed a sprawling discography that spans experimental drone, tropicalia, noise rock, and folk. Her heartfelt and compulsively inclusive aesthetic is often informed by her transness, her Jewish spirituality, and her ongoing negotiations with hedonism. Her music runs in parallel to her work as a visual artist and writer; her first book was published by Atlantic Filtration Systems in 2024.

Aaron Irwin Trio
The Aaron Irwin Trio is an exploratory and dynamic ensemble featuring Aaron Irwin(saxophones, clarinets), Mike Baggetta (guitar), and Bill Campbell (drums). The groupthrives on pushing the boundaries of structure, form, and improvisation, creating music thatis both deeply interactive and texturally rich. With a focus on group interplay, the trio craftsnon-conventional song forms that evolve organically in performance, blurring the linesbetween composition and spontaneous creation. Each member brings a distinctive voice shaped by years of collaboration and work withsome of the most forward-thinking artists in jazz and beyond. Baggetta (mssv, Jim Keltner,David Torn) is known for his atmospheric yet raw approach to the guitar, while Campbell(Breastfist, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Madison Cunningham, Andrew Bird) provides a fluid andexpressive rhythmic foundation. Irwin (Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society, Jamie Baum’sSeptet +, Gabe Kahane) ties it together with a melodic sensibility that embraces both clarityand abstraction. The trio first made its mark with Wobegon (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2018), an album thatestablished their distinctive aesthetic. Their latest release, (After) (Adhyâropa Records,2024), further refines their approach, earning critical praise for its expansive compositionsand immersive sound. With years of collaboration behind them, the Aaron Irwin Triocontinues to evolve, creating music that is unpredictable, expressive, and deeply connected.
