Wakefield’s Linden Tree Concerts presents

Rob Flax Trio on Sunday, May 17^th at 2 pm

The Linden Tree Concert series has a fabulous show for audiences of all ages on Sunday, May 17^th from 2 to 4 pm. Rooted in equal parts hot swing, snarky songwriting, and lyrical storytelling, this energetic trio of virtuoso violin, guitar, and bass plus three part harmony vocals will transport you to a speakeasy somewhere in the back of a bar. You might not be able to sit still in your seat, and you’ll probably have a smile on your face most of the show!“Hotshot swing, crackerjack instrumentals, superb harmonies & hysterical stagecraft” —The Folk Project

Rob Flax possesses a rare combination of skills: he is an award-winning violinist, classically trained but known for his jazz and improvisational pyrotechnics and irresistible grooves, plus a deep knowledge of American fiddle traditions. He's also a powerhouse vocalist, capable of silky crooning a la Nat King Cole or visceral Chicago blues shouts, and a consummate songwriter with lyrical depth to complement the instrumental virtuosity.

Rob Flax's Boom Chick Trio adds guitar, upright bass, and three part vocals to the mix, elevating Rob's eclectic originals with intricate instrumental interplay, tight vocal harmonies, and irreverent humor.

Joining Rob is Slava Tolstoy, a Boston based guitarist, singer and producer, originally from St. Petersburg Russia. Slava’s original songs are best described as energetic pop-rock with tight arrangements, virtuoso soloing and deep and meaningful lyrics in the best traditions of Russian rock.

Chris Sartori is a bassist, percussionist, and multi-instrumentalist currently based out of Boston. “Hotshot swing, crackerjack instrumentals, superb harmonies & hysterical stagecraft” —The Folk Project

Throughout 10+ years touring nationally with Americana genre-defiers, Twisted Pine, Chris has studiously carved out a niche as the funkiest bassist in bluegrass. A graduate of the Jazz program at Umass Amherst, Chris is a lifelong student of music, dedicated to groove, improvisation, and bringing the music to life each night. Each has been in more award winning traveling groups that we could list here.

Tickets for this show will be $25, for those under 18 are $10. WUMB members receive a $2 discount with their membership card. We accept cash or personal check at the door. Because this is a popular show, reservations are recommended by calling or texting 781 521 3564.

The Linden Tree Coffeehouse in its 41st season of acoustic music has relocated to Temple Emmanuel, 120 Chestnut St. Wakefield, MA 01880 which is handicapped accessible. We thank the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Wakefield Arts Council for supporting our concert series that has allowed us to bring quality programming to our community.
