Band Bio and Photo
... loading image
Born in a brewery and raised in a jazz club, Trombone TallBoy is the towering frontman of Salt Lake City’s most unpredictable groove unit. With a golden horn in hand and shades that never come off (even in the shower), TallBoy leads a crew of musical misfits who somehow make funk, soul, and mountain air blend like a perfect IPA.
Peter Wilkes tickles the keys like he’s decoding alien messages. Doug Jennings plays bass so low it registers on seismic monitors. Cal Jennings, rhythm guitar, is Doug’s cousin twice removed and once re-added after a family reunion jam. And Sal Stanchen, lead guitar, was discovered shredding in a canyon while rescuing a stranded marmot.
Their debut album, Brass Tax, sold 10,000 units the hard way — one merch table at a time, living in a van, dodging snowstorms and kombucha spills. It became a cult classic in ski towns and dive bars across the Rockies.
Now, after years of silence, the band is back with their long-awaited follow-up: TallBoy Rises. Rumor has it the horn solos were recorded in a yurt, and the lyrics were channeled during a lightning storm.
Their motto? “Stay breezy, play brassy.”
