Featuring LIVE MUSIC on the Wilcox Main Stage
11:30am | O’Donnell | Klaxton | Clark
Three of the Seacoast’s most versatile musicians present their most heavy-hitting and grooving project to date. Featuring Chris Klaxton and James Clark on drums and bass respectively, and Taylor O’Donnell on keyboards, guitar and vocals, this trio’s repertoire ranges from classic jazz standards to unique interpretations of popular rock, folk, R&B favorites, and also features a collection of O’Donnell’s original songs. From the eclectic soundscape of Bjork’s electronica to throwback 90s R&B, the result is Taylor’s distinctive, powerhouse voice set to a textured tapestry of varying grooves provided by Klaxton & Clark.
