Overton Berry Trio
We begin our 2015-2016 season with the Overton Berry Trio. Overton Berry began his musical career over fifty years ago at the age of 16 when he played USO shows at military bases on the West Coast with the first Overton Berry Trio. Since those early beginnings the music has never stopped. He is described in the Pacific Northwest as “a living legend,” and his wealth of experience and generations of fans bear witness to this affectionate accolade.

His credits include Music Director for the Peggy Lee Concert at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair; Music Director for the House of Entertainment during the Seattle World’s Fair; Music Director for the Canadian tour La Hora de Jazz Concerts; Music Director of the Gene Stridel Show, Hollywood Overseas Committee – Viet Nam; and Music Director of the Overton Berry Trio and the TOBE School of Music.

He has played extensively in venues around the world and at numerous venues in and around Seattle including Jazz Alley, The Double Tree Inn, The Alexis Hotel, The Triple Door, Egan’s Ballard Jam House and The Sorrento Hotel where he can still be heard regularly in The Fireside Room.

Join us for an evening of jazz with one of the greats.
