Dawn Weber & Electro Funk Assembly

World class trumpet player. Prolific songwriter. Stylish vocalist. Mesmerizing, high-energy stage presence. Add it up and you are given one, and only one person– Dawn Weber. But that's just a basic overview of what the multi-talented, eclectic Dawn Weber brings to every performance. The St. Louis-based artist has a background that includes extensive training in both classical trumpet and flugelhorn. But Dawn's talent and personality really shine in other styles of her music– ranging from jazz, rock, R&B swing and salsa to hip-hop, electronic and funk styles. Dawn starred in the groups Vargas Swing, Urban Jazz Naturals and Mo and Dawn (The Remix Project) and is now leading her own bands.

The larger version of Dawn's Electro Funk Assembly brings it with an explosive, high-energy show! The full EFA group features a live drummer, bassist, keyboard player and guitarist supporting Dawn's vocals and trumpet -- fused with an electronic blend bubbling under. You'll hear original music blending house music, funk, hip-hop, and electronica elements that will make you get down and move your body! You'll have a blast!

The smaller, three-piece EFA Lounge band offers a more sophisticated approach adding classic hits– performed in Dawn's unique style – to the musical mix. Dawn's EFA trio creates a high-energy blend of jazz, Latin, and funk grooves with electronic elements to create great dance music that flows non-stop!

Tommy Halloran

As a solo artist and as frontman of Guerrilla Swing, Tommy Halloran performs over 300 shows per year, playing everywhere from airports and smokey clubs to historic theaters and grand outdoor festivals.  His music is a gumbo of jazz, blues, bossa nova, folk, and rock n' roll.  Tommy Halloran performs old-timey music anyone would appreciate... He is to jazz as Uncle Tupelo was to country-western or Steve Earle to bluegrass. He possesses the schooling (both formal and hard-knocks) as well as the "chops" of a great jazzman... The basic truths of Delta-blues, swing, Gospel, and Bohemia are deeply rooted in Tommy's songwriting psyche. Like Randy Newman or Tom Waits (who seldom appear in the same sentence), his cooking belies his ingredients.

Tommy Halloran's Guerrilla Swing was voted "Best Jazz Band" in the River Front Times Music Awards in 2014 and 2015, and was named St. Louis' "Best Band" by that paper's editorial staff in 2014.  Guerrilla Swing features saxophonist Kristian Baarsvik, bassist Andy Hainz, and drummer Jharis Yokley.

Guerrilla Swing released their debut album "Under The Catalpa Trees" in 2014.  Halloran released "Moan & Shout", a solo album featuring many of St. Louis' finest musicians, in 2010.  A new EP, "State Streets" is scheduled to be released on vinyl in early 2016.
