Virtual Concert – Blake Shaw Trio + ADE

Sponsored by Veridian Credit Union

About:  

Blake Shaw wears many hats in the community which include gigging weekly on double & electric bass, leading educational endeavors for students and teachers alike, performing as a vocalist, composing/arranging music, serving as Cornell College’s jazz band director/bass professor in Mt. Vernon, IA as well as managing the Kirkwood Community College Jazz & Popular Music Department. Blake brings a wide variety of inspiration to the table and being an ambitious and hungry bassist has helped him navigate through many different genres of music and work with a wide variety of artists. In his own project, The Blake Shaw Quartet, he not only showcases his original compositions but adds a mix of jazz-influenced arrangements that take swing music to another level. Christopher Jensen on drums, Dan Padley on guitar, and Nolan Schroeder on sax will be joining him to add just the right touch and groove you’ll need to have a fantastic time.

About:  

ADE is a multi-instrumental singer/rapper from The Bronx. He went to the University of Iowa where he received his Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering. During his time there, he re-found his passion for music where he played in a number of bands, sung in a few choirs, and was president of his acapella group, Intersection. This spirit of collaboration stuck with him and lead to the creation of Michelin Astronomy; a joint EP with homie and fellow local musician, Jim Swim! This EP can be found on all streaming platforms.
