Royce Campbell, Bob Bowen, and Jim Howe at Offbeat Roadhouse

Royce Campbell, Bob Bowen, and Jim Howe will pull into Offbeat Roadhouse Friday night, May 23, for a concert which will also be broadcast on WTJU. The members of this trio are primarily known as jazz musicians, but their roots are far more varied and they combine in exceptional ways. For this special session, the concert will feature the trio performing a mix of original compositions, jazz standards and free improv, with a few special guests throughout.

This is a free event, open to all. You can also listen to Offbeat Roadhouse on the radio (91.1 FM) or on-line, and even video stream it at WTJU's Facebook page or YouTube channel. But concerts always sound better with you as part of the studio audience. WTJU is located at 2244 Ivy Rd in Charlottesville, right next door to Vivace. There is plenty of parking, both in our lot as well as the Sentara lot next door.

Offbeat Roadhouse is supported by Plan 9 Music in Charlottesville's Seminole Square Shopping Center and in Carytown, Richmond, or online at plan9music.com. Plan 9 – supporting the independent music community for over 40 years.
