Annual Caprock Jazz Festival features trio of performers
Let the music touch your soul.
The annual Caprock Jazz Festival, scheduled for Saturday, July 8, at the Museum of Texas Tech Helen Devitt Jones Auditorium, will welcome Soul Patrol.
Soul Patrol features the trio of Tom Braxton, Blake Aaron and Aubrey Logan.
Saxophonist Braxton's distinct, melodic sound has been entertaining audiences of all ages from coast to coast and abroad for nearly two decades.
As a versatile instrumentalist and composer, Braxton is a seasoned performer who has the ability to "grab the heartstrings" of the audience within the first few minutes of his show.
A native Texan, Braxton has recorded eight albums including "The Next Chapter" (2014); "Endless Highway" (2009); and "Imagine This" (2007) on the Pacific Coast Jazz label; and "Bounce" (2005) on the Rendezvous label.
Guitarist Aaron has "taken the contemporary jazz world by storm" with a total of five No. 1 Billboard singles.
Following the album "Color and Passion", which had three No. 1 singles and the Song of the Year on the Radiowave charts for 2019, Aaron’s newest release, "Love and Rhythm" jumped out of the gate with two more No. 1 Billboard singles, “Feels So Right,” and “Dreamland”, according to information provided to selectaseatlubbock.com
As a producer, Aaron has teamed up with hit artists Darren Rahn for the No. 1 Billboard single, “Groovers and Shakers” and the No. 1 single of 2019 on Radiowave, “Drive”; with Greg Manning for the No. 1 single “Feels So Right”; and with fellow artist Adam Hawley for two No. 1 singles, “Sunday Strut,” and “Dreamland".
Logan is a singer, trombone player, songwriter and a performer, who's never been one to be pigeon-holed. Her top 5 debut album in 2017 helped establish her as one of the premier young singer-instrumentalists in the country, according to information provided by selectaseatlubbock.com
Her participation in Dave Koz’s No. 1 album, "Summer Horns" in 2018 helped cement her position in the jazz music world. But it was her own No. 1 album in 2019, "Where the Sunshine is Expensive," that helped Logan become a household name, showcasing the depth of her songwriting.
