With booty shaking bass, grooving drums and melodic guitar, the Jigawatt Trio has played instrumental funk rock for the last year in Chicago. Rock, funk, Latin and jazz with plenty of improvisation are the tools. Original compositions and updated jazz standards are the music. Add the fire of the classic trio format and you have the Jigawatt Trio.
An apt description of the Jigawatt Trio was penned by a Myspace.com listener who wrote "Jigawatt Jigarocks!" After playing one of our tunes on his show, Shane Davies from Hostage Radio said "It had a little edge to it...very cool."
The Jigawatt Trio is Steve Richards on guitar, Justin Franciose on bass and Chris Morrow on drums. Steve has performed with Lori Wyatt and recorded with local rock and hip hop artists. Justin was a founding member of the jam rock band Hopah and also performs with Alive, a Pearl Jam tribute band. Chris, a Berklee College of Music alumnus, has performed with the blues funk outfit Squai, progressive rock artist Eric Mantel, ace session guitarist Harry Hmura, and the jazz group the New Fuse.
At a Jigawatt Trio performance, dynamics and musical breadth will help you feel more than the funk.
We are very excited about playing at such an awesome jazz club. We have some great sets lined up for you, so don't miss it. Friday and Saturday November 20th and 21st, 5:00-8:30p at Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago

Hey wat up man??!! Long time! We actually have a few shows coming up. I'm just posting them as we get closer to the dates. We just added a last minute show for some friends cuz they had a band pull out. But this is a really big one with media coverage and pub.
Hey lads - it was very cool of you to spend a weekend here rehearsing and working on new material. I'm gonna need a bigger hard drive :-) Cheers and much success to you in 2009!
Hey guys, We played a show w/ yous a few years back, and I can't remember where, but ever since then, I've been turned on to your music. Congrats on getting heard! And please please please keep up the great stuff...I truly enjoy ALL of your songs that I've heard!
