Northern Lights Trio



Taking the stage on July 7th is the Northern Lights Trio. An encore appearance for Northern Lights Trio,  Northern Trio plays many songs from the big band era that “you just don’t hear anymore.”   Incredible musicians with a repertoire of over 2000 songs, these talented performers take requests and flow smoothly from one number to the next. 

Their group includes Ron Olsen on piano, Jerry Hagen on bass and Terry Price on drums.  Ron is a “retired” supper club entertainer, Jerry’s musical background goes back to the 1960’s as a rock-n-roller, and Terry has played with various bands throughout the Midwest both as a drummer and as a guitar virtuoso.  They have been playing together as the Northern Lights Trio for over six years and perform a special concert at the Edge Center for the Arts in Bigfork annually.  

The Trio usually starts out with a few tunes that they enjoy playing but they also love to take requests from the audience.  The result is spontaneity mixed with challenge.  All songs will be announced at the time of performance so it is easy to follow along.  Come on out to enjoy this group of very talented musicians and don’t forget to bring along your song requests!

Northern Lights Trio will perform Smooth Jazz Standards at Community Presbyterian Church, 703 N. Pokegama Avenue, Grand Rapids on Tuesday, July 7th at noon.  Following the free concert is the optional church luncheon at $6.
