The Charlie Halloran Trio

St. Louis native and trombone aficionado, Charlie Halloran, has become a fan favorite at The Focal Point. Last year he brought Shotgun Jazz Band to headline the Focal Point Jazz series and the year before he brought the New Orleans Jazz Vipers. This year he is bringing a very special trio: Charlie will be joined by New Orleans double bass master Tyler Twerk Thompson and stride piano player Kris Tokarski.

In addition to occasional tours with the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Charlie keeps a busy schedule in New Orleans playing with the The Jazz Vipers, Tuba Skinny, Meschiya Lake, Panorama Jazz Band, Palmetto Bug Stompers, Shotgun Jazz Band, and over at the Palm Court and Preservation Hall. Charlie appears on Jon Clearys Grammy-winning album Go Go Juice, as well as recordings by Rickie Lee Jones, John Boutte, Pokey LaFarge, and St. Louis favorite (and older brother/teacher), Tommy Halloran.
