Trio Subtonic is a groove heavy power trio out of Portland,
Oregon that blends genre bending funk with slow burning underground soul
jazz. Led by keyboardist Galen Clark,
Subtonic explores a coalescence of rock, soul, funk, hip hop and jazz that
simultaneously draws in listeners and pushes boundaries. Creating a sonic footprint reserved for more
than just three people, Subtonic delivers soulful grooves, expansive
improvisations and a deep pocket that compels audiences to try dance moves they
didn't know they had.
Trio Subtonic consists of Galen Clark on keyboards, Bill
Athens on bass and Russ Kleiner on drums.
The group has performed with Dan Balmer, A Love Electric, JFJO, Scott
Pemberton, D'Vonne Lewis, Michal Angela and more. Touring extensively on the West Coast, East
Coast and in Mexico, Subtonic brings dynamic energy to festivals, jazz clubs
and watering holes alike and has garnered admiration from a wide variety of
fans and critics.
The listener will find funky, groove-oriented sounds,
acoustic ballads, and gospel-tinged instrumentals. Trio Subtonic’s
“populist” take on Jazz means that just about everybody digs what they’re
doing. Best of all, this record is “designed” well, making for a diverse
listening experience from beginning till end. –Matt Fleeger, KMHD
No secret to Northwest jazz aficionados, Trio Subtonic
operate within simultaneously soulful and funk-heavy arrangements.
Highlighted by the dazzling key-work of Galen Clark, the trio is a
veritable monster hybrid of jazz fusion.
