About this Event

Jabbering Trout

Sun 1/18

6pm doors/7pm show

All Ages | $15


Jabbering Trout is a killer live act with memorable original songs. They began their trajectory in the 90s in Boston as a high-energy, twoperson, drum and guitar duo. Thriving in the local acoustic scene, Jabbering Trout won Boston’s Acoustic Underground competition, and were off and running, touring clubs and playing festivals nationally. The band put out two albums which were well received and reviewed in newspapers, magazines and fanzines across the country. Jabbering Trout has been through many incarnations since the original lineup.

The common theme is solid, catchy songwriting delivered live with energy. Today Jabbering Trout play as a trio, with Terrance Reeves’ bass guitar and the drumming of Chuck Hargreaves with the guitar-backed vocals of founding member Tom Burris.

“Highly charged and nonchalantly eccentric” -The Boston Herald

“JT are on the cutting edge... [They] must have an endless spinning songbook of ideas, for they never seem to run out...” -The Noise

Jabbering Trout have played with and opened for many national music acts such as: Aerosmith Jeff Buckley Dave Matthews Band Ani Difranco

“Jabbering Trout offers a sense of humor wrapped in delicious melodies and delivered with a sledge hammer” -The Leak

“One can see why Jabbering Trout’s aggressive stance and primitive energy have made audiences bolt up and take notice” -Dirty Linen
