Ryan Keberle

From his early memories of pretending to conduct Vivaldi (The Four Seasons. Winter. IYKYK.) to being a highly sought-after trombonist, playing on SNL and getting to work with the likes of David Bowie, Sufjan Stevens, Maria Schneider and more, Ryan Keberle has truly amazing stories to share. Join us for a conversation with Ryan, and then go check out some of his music: Ryan Keberle & Catharsis, Collectiv do Brasil, Reverso, Big Band Living Legacy Project.
