Experience an unforgettable evening of music and community with Holly Resnick, a vocalist known for her personal and honest interpretations of the Great American Songbook, and world-class jazz pianist, George Colligan. Colligan's masterful touch brings something new to songs you've heard again and again. Every time he performs these beloved songs, he does something new, something brilliant, and reimagines every song like it's the first time you've ever heard it.

The two have developed a friendship and camaraderie over the years, so not only is their music memorable, their lighthearted, playful banter between songs adds a personally entertaining dimension to the show. Their onstage presence is both inviting and transformative, and leaves audiences feeling musically fulfilled and deeply moved.

The duo will be supported and uplifted that evening by two of their favorite band mates, Eric Gruber on bass and Michael Raynor on drums. This quartet loves to perform together and you can't help but feel like you are part of the music they create together.

And the welcomes Farnell Newton to the show just to make everything much much better!

"If this band appeared in New York City, they'd be a sensation!" That was guitar great--and one-time Mel Brown bandmate--George Benson's reaction after hearing the Mel Brown B-3 Organ Group open for him back in September, 2003 at Oregon's prestigious Britt Festival.

In fact, this true all-star band--each member is widely viewed as tops in the Northwest on his instrument--has been a sensation for a long while now. With a collective resume that reads like a "Who's Who" of jazz, blues, and soul (all four members are Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductees), this group has the talent and confidence to be completely spontaneous--from their blistering solos to their improvised arrangements and segues. No wonder they've thrilled audiences wherever they've played.

Dan and his all star band will be playing music from his recent CD When The Night which Ashley Kahn of the New York Times described as, "One of the best albums of 2023".

From coffee house gigs at fifteen to chart-topping success with the Tom Grant Band in the 90s, world tours with two-time Grammy Award winner Diane Schuur and contemporary jam-bands, Dan Balmer brings fire and heart every time he plays the guitar. His playing spans nearly one hundred CDs including twelve as a leader from which his original works have appeared internationally in television, film and radio.

An in-demand educator, Dan maintains a busy schedule of private lessons, group clinics and master classes throughout the US and abroad. He adjudicates student jazz band competitions at events such as the Monterey Next Generation Festival and Reno Jazz Festival along with being a long-term teacher at the Centrum Jazz Workshop. He is the director of jazz combos at Lewis And Clark College while also on faculty at virtually every other college in the greater Portland, Oregon area.

Dan has performed or toured with Joey DeFrancesco, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Les McCann, Javon Jackson and Karrin Allyson, Benny Golson, Jeff Hamilton, Gerald Clayton, John Clayton, Terell Stafford, Ingrid Jensen, Duduka da Fonseca, Kendrick Scott, Taylor Eigsti, Buddy De Franco, Bruce Forman and countless others.

Dan’s love of guitar and making music combined with discipline, technique and restless curiosity provide an ever-deepening experience for himself and his listeners. In every performance he finds himself in the middle of the path, amidst a continuous and compelling process of discovery.
