Bringing a fresh new sound to the traditional organ trio format by adding new electronic textures and new musical influences, The Energy Trio enjoys fusing together seemingly disparate elements of 60’s jazz, rock, latin, hip hop, funk and fusion to create a "musical loaf" for your ears to chew on.
Originally from Catskill, NY, Bob Powers (guitar/trumpet) has worked extensively in the rock and jazz idioms. Additionally, Bob holds a Jazz Performance Degree in trumpet from Arizona State University. Some influences include Scott Henderson, Pat Martino, Clifford Brown, and Brian Lynch among many many other great rock, jazz, and classical musicians.
Shea Marshall (B3/keyboards/sax) has come to his style partly through extensive work in areas just outside jazz, and is well known locally for his uniquely universal approach to the keyboards and saxophone. Shea has worked with great musicians such as Joe Morris, Dick Wagner, and Dennis Rowland, and as a sideman for major acts Jody Gnant, Jason DeVore (of Authority Zero), and Wayne Newton. He is now finishing a degree in electrical engineering in pursuit of new musical technology.
