The Evan Wood Trio: Celebrating 1-Year of The River Room!
Celebrate The River Room’s 1-year anniversary with the Evan Wood Trio—live jazz, grooves, giveaways & surprises! Sat., April 25th, @ 7:30 PM
🥁 THE EVAN WOOD TRIO LIVE AT THE RIVER ROOM 🎶
+ 1-Year Anniversary Celebration!
‼️ One year ago, we opened our doors… and what a year it’s been.
On Saturday, April 25th, we celebrate The River Room’s 1-Year Anniversary the best way we know how — with world-class live music, great vibes, and a room full of community!
🔥 Featuring The Evan Wood Trio
Connecticut native Evan Wood has been behind the drums since he was barely walking — and it shows. A dynamic, groove-driven drummer with deep roots in jazz, funk, hip-hop, and house, Evan brings a fresh, boundary-pushing approach to live improvisational music while honoring the rich traditions that came before him.
A product of Eastern Connecticut State University’s jazz program and having studied under acclaimed drummer Jonathan Barber, Evan has quickly become a sought-after sideman and bandleader across the Connecticut jazz scene and now New York City, where he currently resides. Whether leading his own projects or collaborating across genres, his playing is expressive, high-energy, and deeply musical.
Joining Evan for this special night:
🎸 Misha Mendelenko – Guitar
🎸 Alex Tremblay – Bass
✨ Expect a night of tight interplay, spontaneous improvisation, and infectious groove — the kind of performance that only happens in a room like this.
🎉 PLUS — Anniversary Celebration Perks!
We’re turning ONE, and we want to celebrate with YOU:
🎁 Special giveaways
🚪 Door prizes
🎊 Surprises throughout the night!
This isn’t just a concert — it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built together over the past year.
