The Ryan Sands Trio will be performing at the Milford Arts Council on March 3 at 8 p.m.
Drummer Ryan Sands, an Orange native, is an alum of the New England Conservatory and Manhattan School of Music. Sands and his power trio recently recorded their debut album, “Standing on the Edge of Tomorrow.” Sands also currently holds the drum seat for the New York-based Jazz collective Altus, featuring David Adewumi, Neta Ranaan, Nathan Reising and Isaac Levien. They released their debut EP, Riot Cycles, in July 2021.
Tickets for Ryan Sands Trio are available now and range from $43 to $63. The MAC is fully ADA accessible; contact the box office for any specific arrangements. Concessions will be available to purchase in the Speakeasy in the MAC lobby before and during the performance. Outside food and drinks are not permitted.
There is a preview of the Ryan Sands Trio’s album on the MAC website; the full album is available on Bandcamp. His music evokes a 1960s/70s nostalgia, reminiscent of the works of Mulatu Atstake and current groups like Hiatus Kaiyote and the Menahan Street Band.
The Ryan Sands Trio is part of the MAC’s season-long jazz series. The final show of the season, Jeff Fuller & Friends, will be performing at the MAC on April 6 at 7:30 p.m. Fuller is a Connecticut/New York bassist who has performed around the region, internationally and with performers such as Dizzy Gillespie.
