Find out what's happening in Brightonfor free with the latest updates from Patch.
The Royal Garden Trio is made up of:
Mike Karoub (cello and string bass),
Tom Bogardus (tenor guitar and clarinet),
Brian Delaney (acoustic and electric 6-string guitars).
The members of the RGT have beautiful stories to tell.

They are virtuosic as well, but they know that too much is not a good thing.
So their solos are thoughtful speech, not diatribes;
their notes ring and resound in the air.
Each player creates compelling melodies,
and they work together like a swing version of the Budapest Quartet.
... I am thrilled by Karoub's cello: earnest, dark yet lithe.
Mike's conception is never overblown, but his solos can be majestic.
Delaney's guitar is part Lang, part Lonnie Johnson.
Bogardus romps on his guitar and his clarinet playing is easy,
fervent, balancing Dodds and klezmer.
And the trio works together to create something beautiful, varied, and cheering.
Their performances are marvelous vignettes,
the guitarists switching lead and rhythm,
Bogardus playing a chorus on clarinet;
Karoub bowing and then plucking in a propulsive manner
(across bar lines) that recalls Steve Brown.
And they swing - without even trying hard.
