Joe Policastro Trio to perform Thursday, May 3 at The Dark Room

The Chicago-based Joe Policastro Trio is coming to St. Louis to perform at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 3 at The Dark Room. Admission to the show is free (though The Dark Room does require a food or drink purchase).

The group (pictured), which includes the leader on bass along with guitarist Dave Miller and drummer Mikel Avery, is touring to promote their latest album Screen Sounds.

The trio's third release, after 2013's West Side Story Suite, and 2016's POPS!, Screen Sounds features their re-imaginings of music from film and TV, ranging from Cool Hand Luke to Yojimbo to Twin Peaks and more.

When not touring, Policastro, Miller and Avery perform three nights a week at Chicago’s Pops For Champagne, and individually, their credits include work with the likes of Phil Woods, Jeff Hamilton, Diane Schuur, Patricia Barber, Joshua Abrams, Rob Mazurek, and more.
