Blue Heron Trio Jazz Band from Dayton, OH

In 2011 three close friends came together in Dayton, Ohio to produce voluptuous jazz and pop tunes. Blue Heron Trio is the culmination of their combined 20 years of playing in punk, pop, folk, jazz, and cover bands. Reviewed as "one of the prettiest voices in Dayton", vocalist Elisha Frontz leads listeners on a sensual journey through musical eras gone by, imbuing the music with a fresh, young feel. Phil Myers, formerly a musician for the United States Army, accompanies with lush saxophone riffs and gentle acoustic guitar. Dave Santucci solidifies the groove on the keyboard with his decades of piano experience. Whether it's an original song, a jazz standard made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, or a completely unexpected lounge rendition from another genre ("Sweet Child 'O Mine" by GunsNRoses is a crowd favorite), the trio performs with a deeply personal and authentic touch. In September 2013 Blue Heron Trio took the stage at the Dayton landmark Schuster Center for the Performing Arts as finalists in the gala event "So You Think You Can Play The Schuster". In 2015 Blue Heron Trio released their first album. Currently, the video for their single "Siren Song" can be viewed on the NPR Tiny Desk Concert website. They are listed in the top 100 jazz acts in the United States by the international independent music site ReverbNation. Their music can be heard on radio stations such as W937 and WYSO. They can be seen regularly at restaurants, private parties, festivals, and fund raisers throughout Ohio and the midwest.
