About this concert
Activator Trio is the brainchild of Brooklyn, NY-based guitarist and composer Ben Tyree. Formed in 2018 as an extension of his critically-acclaimed BT3, the project features fellow Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber alumni: Leon Gruenbaum (keyboards, Samchillian Tip Tip Tip CheeePeeeee) + Chris Eddleton (drums).
The group debuted in late 2018 at Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT showcasing their invigorating take on what Tyree calls “Psych Rock/Jazz Funk.” Activator Trio are currently preparing to record a full-length studio album to be produced by Vernon Reid of Living Colour.
