The Chuck Lichtenberger Trio reunites three of the area’s most versatile and prolific musicians. Keyboardist Chuck Lichtenberger has gained fame through his recording and touring with The Archrivals, Stephanie’s Id, The Goodies, Whitney Moore and others. Bassist Grant Cuthbertson has performed with The Tyler Ramsey Trio, Kat Williams, The Asheville Jazz Orchestra, Nuevo Montuno, and many more. Drummer Robin Tolleson has kept the beat for San Francisco jazz-funksters Hip Bones, Asheville soul stars The Secret B-Sides, Klarcnova, Cabo Verde, and Big Block Dodge. Tolleson, Lichtenberger, and Cuthbertson first played together as the regular house band at Tressa’s Monday Night Jazz and Blues Jam in Asheville nearly 15 years ago. Their sense of musical playfulness will be on display at Southern Appalachian as they provide an engaging soundtrack of jazz, pop, funk and Latin classics.
