Nocturne is thrilled to present the Bailey Hinkley Grogan Quartet playing the music from Bailey's newly released debut album, Three Sides of a Story. Presenting a wide range of music in settings both sensitive and creative, this band honors the rich tradition of American music as a whole while remaining deeply personal and expressive. This newest artistic project is a series of multigenre vocal and instrumental duos, including works by Cher, Willie Nelson, Pat Methey, and Grogan herself. Like the title suggests, the duo concept consists of three perspectives: two from both musicians and one from the listener, creating a multi faceted listening experience. Bailey is joined by an all-star lineup of phenomenal Denver musicians: Camilla Vaitaitis (piano), Alejandro Castaño (drums), and Matt Smiley (bass). 

Bailey Elizabeth Hinkley Grogan is a jazz vocalist, songwriter, educator, and performer based out of Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA. Her bright, yet melancholy sound is a reflection of her deep study into the jazz idiom while simultaneously playing homage to her influences in Nancy Wilson, Chick Corea, Sheryl Crow, and Jamie Cullum. Her improvisatory style is fearless and bold, while her songwriting and lyrical delivery reflects the raw, emotional heartache and undying beauty found in her life story. Her music, which resembles the likes of Folk, R&B, and Jazz styles, is a reflection of intense experiences in her young life.

This special set of shows are inspired by the album 'Rome' by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi. Rome is a 'soundtrack without a movie' with music that draws heavily on the whimsical styles of the Spaghetti Western films from the 1960's ( the more famous having been directed by Segio Leone and Sergio Corbucci, and scored by Ennio Morricone). Twangy electric guitar, mournful nylon string guitar, epic haunting vocals, groovy beats and all the trappings of this evocative orchestration and unique sound.  Supplementing the works from Rome, the quintet will also perform selections from Ennio Morricone scores from the original films.  Featured personnel: Patrick Lee (piano), Julia Mendiolea (bass), Tania Katz Sinon (vox), Braxton Kahn (drums)
