Gracing The Back Room‘s cozy, intimate stage, Buckman Coe, fresh from Vancouver, sang acoustic solo versions of his big band creations. He’ll soon begin touring with Tonye, and with a little luck, they’ll swing back around our neck of the woods soon! His seventh and latest album Gathering Storm is out now.

Daniel Riera’s Ensemble followed Buckman with scat-bopping, sweet-jazz feels and grooves. A great high-energy live band.
