ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Members Joyce Todd McBride, Stacy Starkweather, and Jeff Pera have long been part of the Bay Area music scene before forming a trio in 2016. McBride is the director of Conspiracy of Venus, a vocal ensemble that performs her arrangements as well as originals. In addition to performing with many local musicians in jazz and classical repertoire, she is also a voice and piano teacher.

Bassist Stacy Starkweather has played with many groups including the Jazz Mandolin Project, Hieroglyphics, Phish, and is currently playing with the Suspects of Soul and occasionally the Union Hotel’s Jazz Explosion, Bob Muzzy’s Muzztones, and DB Walker Band.

Since benefitting from the programs at the California Jazz Conservatory (CJC) since 2010, drummer Jeff Pera has played with a variety of people—often with LJT Trio—at the CJC Cafe, Mr. Tipple’s, B-Side, Rose Pistola, and other Bay Area venues. Having played mostly jazz, he likes the variety of genres that he is exploring with McBride and Starkweather. The trio has performed at Doc’s Lab, Amnesia, Red Poppy Art House, and is the featured ensemble at Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor.
