Cinematic, restless, and wide open - original music where jazz, fusion, rock, funk, folk, classical, hip hop, and deep groove collide.


Morgan Harrison and The Trio Focus bring a fearless night of original music to Black Cat — searching, soulful, unpredictable, and built for listeners willing to take the ride.


Harrison calls it “Stuff Music,” but the sound is anything but casual. With Alan Jones on bass, Sheldon Alexander on drums, and special guest Tri Pham on guitar for the first set, The Trio Focus turns the piano trio format into a charged space for risk, connection, and release.

Singer-songwriter Sami Stevens harnesses Jazz, Soul, Folk and Indie Rock influences to create truly intimate original music. Accompanying herself on piano or Wurlitzer, Sami delivers dynamic, personal performances deeply steeped in the lineage of the great American singer-songwriters of the 60’s and 70’s.

In 2023, Sami released her debut solo album ‘Morning’ on Sunnyside Records. Born from a love of classic American music and an ear for storytelling, ‘Morning’ showcases Stevens’ rich vocal delivery as it ebbs between intimate personal stories and stunning symphonic textures, treating the vastness of the human condition with painterly impressions and an empathetic disposition. Glide Magazine wrote “Sami Stevens did more than impress with her first solo outing, she quickly established herself as one of the most promising songwriters to appear in the past few years.”

Sami is also an avid collaborator; fresh off of a two year run with nine-time Grammy winner Norah Jones on auxiliary keys and background vocals as Norah toured her 2024 release ‘Visions.’ Other ongoing collaborations include Rose Thorne by Kenny Wollesen, I Insist by Kazemde George, The Way I Feel Inside by Marty Isenberg, Brave New World by Tredici Bacci, and a new one woman show by John Zorn and Jesse Harris, currently in development.
