The sweet, soulful sounds of The ABC Trio with Tom Herbort are the perfect complement to a sublime evening under the stars – the final Orchard Session of the season – Thursday, October 12, at The Farm at Old Edwards.
ABC Trio with Tom Herbort
The music carried on cool breezes in an orchard with a view of the fiery colors of autumn leaves is what you’ll find at this month’s Orchard Session at The Farm at Old Edwards.
On Thursday, October 12, when the sounds of the ABC Trio with Tom Herbort rise on the horizon, music both captivating and irresistible will be heard drifting through the mountain range. It is to be the last concert in the seasonal Orchard Sessions series, an occasion that music lovers will not want to miss.
A most compelling attraction for a community that lives much of its life outdoors, the alfresco Orchard Sessions are proof that birds are not the only music amid nature. To be present in this bucolic setting amidst the boughs of fruit trees, at one with nature and the serenity of a mountain autumn evening is to forget the day’s or past year’s irritations, whether small or not.
And best of all, you are listening to the music of rising stars, the ABC Trio. Though friends Brian, Caleb and David started playing together in 2019, the shutdowns of the Pandemic delayed their public performances until 2020. In 2022, looking for additional horn players to add to the eclectic sounds with which they were experimenting, they met Tom Herbort and invited him to the join their emerging group.
Influenced by the music of Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, James Brown, and Miles Davis, they are highly regarded for their complex harmonies, and syncopated rhythms with a heavy emphasis on improvisation, and a panache that is both warm and refined. The foursome’s synergy and camaraderie on stage are palpable, and their expressive playing style infuses each song with a raw emotion that electrifies and animates their fans. Known for their energetic live shows and their close connection with their fans, they deftly draw the audience into their musical journey.
Shows begin each evening at 6:00 PM and finish at 8:00 PM – perhaps just in time for a showing of nature’s own Klieg light – a sky brightening with the rising moon and sparkling stars. Admission is $25 for Old Edwards Inn and Half-Mile Farm Hotel Guests and Members. General admission is $40 and includes light bites and a cash bar. The session will move indoors to the Orchard House in the event of rain.
