Andrea Wolper At The Patchogue Theatre

A Musical Night To Remember occurred recently when the Andrea Wolper Trio, with Ken Filiano & Michael Howell played a gig at the Patchogue Theatre in NY for the �Live in The Lobby Series�.

Their style is an energetic, soulful synthesis of blues, classic rock, and spontaneous jazz improvisation creating a totally unique sound of their own. Hearing them is an entertaining journey through musical time and space.
