Rob Flax possesses a rare combination of skills: he is an award-winning virtuoso violinist, classically trained but known for his jazz and improvisational pyrotechnics and irresistible grooves; he is also a powerhouse vocalist, capable of silky crooning a la Nat King Cole or visceral Chicago blues shouts.

Rob Flax possesses a rare combination of skills: he is an award-winning virtuoso violinist, classically trained but known for his jazz and improvisational pyrotechnics and irresistible grooves; he is also a powerhouse vocalist, capable of silky crooning a la Nat King Cole or visceral Chicago blues shouts.
For many years Rob performed mostly solo—it takes a special kind of musician to keep pace with Rob’s stylistic breadth and depth!—but after much searching he’s finally found a band that can keep up: Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio is a new “supergroup” that features Slava Tolstoy on guitar and Max Ridley on bass. Max and Slava both are incredible instrumentalists who have chops for days but know how to balance their prowess in service of the song.
Together, the three string-wielding maestros have forged a powerful group dynamic, developed over years of gigging and concerts, and the result is an interplay that will bring a smile to your face!
Boston Funk is a brand new performance space and recording studio, right in the heart of downtown Boston in the historic Leather District (in fact, there are still original leather tanning and stretching tools in the basement of the building!). Equipped with state of the art audio, video, and lighting equipment, this show will be recorded with multitrack audio and multiple video camera angles. While excerpts of the show may be used for future publicity purposes, attendees of the show will receive a complimentary digital copy of the entire performance.
Due to the nature of the performance and recording, capacity for this show is extremely limited. Doors open at 7 pm, with some light snacks and refreshments provided by the band (BYOB otherwise), and the show begins at 8.
