Chris Simmons is finishing up his senior year at UNCA in the BFA program for Jazz and Contemporary music. Some of his best playing and listening experiences have been at White Horse (most recently he played with Andrew Salow on his senior recital this past April 9th) and he plans to close out his undergrad career at a venue with such a warm atmosphere, helpful staff and fond memories attached to it.
He’s bringing a trio with himself playing drums, vibraphone and piano, as well as 2 UNCA alums: Clayton Gibb on guitar and Ray Damron on trumpet. You can expect to hear several standards, arrangements of lesser known compositions and a few originals of Chris’. Help White Horse send Chris off into the world in triumph!
