Killdeer Trio & Laura Andrea Leguía

Inspired by their roots in Upstate NY, Killdeer Trio answers the constant invitation to explore the surrounding unknown. The band draws from their diverse musical experiences in experimental and mainstream music to create a sound that challenges expectations of genre and style.

Killdeer Trio is co-led by bassist Evan Jagels, drummer Sebastian Green, and guitarist Wyatt Ambrose. They perform all original music composed by each member, and arranged collectively.

Laura Andrea Leguía started her musical career in the National Conservatory of Lima, Peru. Laura Andrea has played the saxophone worldwide along artists such as Deepak Chopra, Maria Schneider, Ingrid Jensen, Alex Acuña, Eva Ayllón, Arturo O'Farrill, the Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet, and the Laura Andrea Leguia Afro-Peruvian Big Band, in which she participates as band leader, saxophonist and composer.

Saxofón Criollo, her debut solo album, emphasizes the composition of songs in traditional Peruvian Criollo style, with harmonies that belong in the jazz tradition. The melodies are very lyrical, as most of her compositions have accompanying lyrics.

The Van Dyck Music Club is the second floor entertainment venue located at the famous Van Dyck in Schenectady’s Historic Stockade District.
