Trio Metro with Liz Farrell 7 pm Friday, May 30, 2025

Trio Metro with Liz Farrell [Mostly from triometro.com] Trio Metro is a jazz trio playing in the greater Athens area and is composed of Mindy Towe on Sax, Tracy Reynolds on Keys, and Ron Balthazor on Drums. Though only recently joining to form Trio Metro, each of us has a long musical history and an array of musical experiences. Trio Metro's music most often comes from the jazz standards of the Great American Songbook, though we love to play more contemporary covers as well. We are equally at home playing for clubs, parties, and weddings as we are for aficionados of the Lindy-Hop. Trio Metro is as much about the friendships as it is about the music. Great melodies, tight grooves, funky riffs, rich harmonies, and infectious rhythms designed to delight the listener ... It doesn't get much better than that! Mindy Towe with Check the Signs, October 31, 2021, at No. 3 Railroad Street (it was Halloween) Mindy Towe, with her husband Scott and children Mason and Lauren, has been playing as Check the Signs in Athens and surrounds for years. In fact, Check the Signs has played at No. 3 Railroad Street on July 24, 2021 and October 31, 2021. Mindy plays an array of instruments with Trio Metro, and regularly solos on Alto Sax with Big Band Athens. Tracy Reynolds has a rich musical heritage with a Bachelor and Masters degrees in Music Education, road experience with a contemporary Christian rock band, studio experience with numerous genres and artists, and playing experiences, including local church, worship teams, big bands, swing bands, and a jazz sextet featuring mostly original material. With a mother who sang show tunes to her unborn son, Ron Balthazor has had a long and sweet life in music. He first learned the basics of jazz as a college student playing standards with a piano trio in clubs around Atlanta. Beyond his work with Trio Metro, he plays with Big Band Athens. He and Tracy Reynolds have played music together for over 45 years. Liz Farrell brings a mix of contemporary, classical, and theatrical sounds as the vocalist for Trio Metro. Liz studied under Dr. Stephanie Tingler and Professor Michael Hadary, and received a music degree from the University of Georgia. Outside of Trio Metro, Liz performs in Athens as a singer-songwriter.
