A trio made up of bassist Soren Nissen, drummer Ian Wright and guitarist Nate Renner put on an intimate house show in Saskatoon on Friday, May 17. The living room turned concert venue was full to the brim with the band’s friends, family and other local jazzers and music fans. This is a gallery of photos from the show.
Nissen recently performed at the Bassment for International Jazz Day and will be back in Saskatoon for the Jazz Festival, beginning on June 21.
