The Jeremy Ledbetter Trio will be at Knox Performance Centre on Saturday, September 28.

Prince George is set to host a night of world-class music as the acclaimed Jeremy Ledbetter Trio kicks off the second annual Performing Arts Series at the Knox Performance Centre on Saturday, September 28. The trio is known for blending jazz with global influences, creating a sound that is as dynamic as it is innovative, making this performance a must-see for music lovers in Northern BC.

Led by Jeremy Ledbetter, a pianist and composer celebrated for his intricate, adventurous style, the trio pushes the boundaries of contemporary jazz. Ledbetter’s music draws inspiration from his experiences collaborating with artists across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa, infusing his compositions with a rich, global perspective. His passion for exploring new musical landscapes is evident in the trio’s high-energy performances.

Joining Ledbetter are two world-class musicians: Larnell Lewis, one of the most in-demand drummers today, and Rich Brown, a bassist known for his groove-heavy, melodic playing. Larnell Lewis, a Grammy Award winner and renowned member of the fusion band Snarky Puppy, brings his explosive and versatile drumming skills to the trio. His ability to move effortlessly between genres and rhythms is a key element of the group’s signature sound. Rich Brown rounds out the ensemble with his deep, soulful bass lines, grounding the trio’s complex arrangements while adding a layer of rich harmonies.

The Jeremy Ledbetter Trio is not just a jazz group — they are sonic explorers, creating music that bridges genres and challenges traditional boundaries. Their live performances are packed with improvisation, rhythm shifts, and surprising moments that captivate audiences from start to finish.

This performance marks the beginning of the second annual Performing Arts Series, a collaboration between the Community Arts Council of Prince George and Trinity United Church, aimed at enriching the cultural life of Northern BC by bringing internationally acclaimed acts to local stages. For Prince George, hosting a group of this caliber is a significant step in growing the region's reputation as a vibrant hub for the performing arts.
