About
Musical performance by bw3. bw3 is the brainchild of trombonist and electronic artist Brendan Whalen. After moving to Chicago in 2015 to study music with some of the city’s finest musicians, the 29-year-old transplant became frustrated with the boundaries of traditional music and has made it a mission to break them down ever since. Fusing jazz, hip hop, and funk with ambient, electronic, and hard rock, bw3 has something for everybody and never fails to create a unique sonic experience.
