The Shook/Russo 5tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region. Their focus has always been to compose and perform their own original music within the jazz idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the tradition. Be it through blues, swing, bebop, soul jazz, or more modern funk and groove, the group has developed an incredible and unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of each of these fine musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few. They currently have two CDs out on Summit Records, and will be releasing a new album later this year, featuring all new music by members of the band.

In haphazard bits of downtime, Joey is an amateur mushroom hunter and old horror movie junkie. Catch his forthcoming work to be published in Fissure.

Ray Weaver
2016-12-30 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Halifax)
Ray Weaver is a writer. He has the rare ability to transform life into songs and stories that are intensely personal, yet still touch a universal chord.
“The writing talent here is really pretty formidable,” said Doug Floyd of altcountrytab.com. “The names of Steve Earle, Townes van Zandt and Guy Clark all spring to mind.”
Ray plays pubs, concerts and festivals across the United States and in Europe. His music has been used on the Travel Channel, the WB Network and featured on radio and internet stations worldwide.
Along with his musical endeavors, Ray works as a writer. He is a journalist for the Copenhagen Post in Copenhagen and his short stories have been published as part of the Rocking Chair Reader series created by Adams Media and in magazines and newspapers.
He has just released his first ebook, “A Father’s Heart”, which collects some his best-loved stories and songs in a multimedia package that includes links to stream or download nine songs that relate to the stories of family, life and love included in the collection.
From heartfelt recollections of Christmases past to rollicking days of hunting wild refrigerators, A Father’s Heart looks at parents, grandparents, wives, husbands and, of course, children with tenderness, humour and above all, love.
Ray’s performance at 49 West will be the first ever intimate live performance of the ‘A Father’s Heart’ project.
