The Trio Grande brings together a mix of veteran players and fresh energy:

• Wes Nagy (keyboards, bass) — a seasoned performer and composer whose credits include Lou Rawls, Gary U.S. Bonds, Bo Diddley, and Mick Taylor, as well as scoring hit TV shows like The Drew Carey Show, The West Wing, Felicity, and Spin City. 

• Rob Loyot (saxophone, percussion, vocals) — founding member of Entrain, with performance credits alongside Carly Simon, Susan Tedeschi, Dave Mason, and stage appearances opening for Joan Jett, Hall & Oates, and Huey Lewis & The News.

• Steve Tully (saxophone, vocals) — a mainstay of the Boston scene, known for his work with Taylor Made and The Love Dogs.

• Jeremy Driesen and Hudson Bausman (drums) — alternating drummers who sometimes bring the “two-drummer magic” to the stage. Jeremy’s resume includes Chuck Berry, Billy Idol, Sam Moore, Bo Diddley, and Richie Havens, while Hudson represents the band’s next generation of groove.

• Chris Knott (bass, guitar, drums, vocals) — a versatile Rhode Island-based multi-instrumentalist who adds even greater depth and flexibility to the band’s evolving sound.

  
  

Together, Mike Benjamin & The Band deliver a rich, rootsy, rockin’ experience — a musical journey that celebrates timeless grooves and genuine musicianship.
