Eric Muhler Trio

The Dance Palace is excited and proud to bring Bay Area native, Eric Muhler and his trio to the Dance Palace for their Marin County Debut!  Muhler, a native of Oakland, has been a resident of Lagunitas for seven years.  Fresh off sold out shows at Piedmont Piano and Yoshi’s in Oakland, he is performing New Works in solo, duo, and trio format with sophisticated sidemen Michael Wilcox on electric bass and Brian Andres on drums – both accomplished Bay Area band leaders in their own right.

Muhler’s music is deep, reflective, melodic, improvisational jazz.  It has been called “like little journeys, road trips that twist and turn and reward listeners with surprises around every corner.” (Paul Liberatore, Marin IJ)  and “Muhler’s piano lines seem to explore, search and seek out new, mystical lands” (Dan Bilawsky, NY Jazz Guide)  “Always lyrical, often introspective, alternately spare and then abundant, the pieces bear resemblance to some of my favorite recordings of solo piano giants Keith Jarrett and Art Lande.”  (Mark McLeod)

Muhler has five published CDs. Two are solo piano and the other three range from sextet and quartet to the trio format he is bringing to Dance Palace.

Please join us in this wonderful evening of unique and original improvisational music performed by three masters of their craft.
