Rob Flax & The Boom Chick Trio

Rob Flax & The Boom Chick Trio

10-18-2025 7:30 pm
Bedford Town Hall
$20/$25

 

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 has performed nationally and internationally with artists such as B.B. King, Tower of Power and many others. He has written music for choreographers, film and several original projects.

Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio is a new “supergroup” that features Slava Tolstoy on guitar and Noah Harrington on bass. Slava Tolstoy is a Boston based guitarist, singer and producer, originally from St. Petersburg Russia. His International String Trio fuses Gypsy Jazz with World Music and has toured across USA many times.
