This past week was HUGE for us. The GR Ballet Photos can be seen in our Gallery.
We are pleased to announce that we just won the Jazz Genre for ArtPrize 2013! Thank to all who voted for us!
September 23, 2013
Okay everyone, this is the last piece of spam you will get regarding ArtPrize and us being in it. We certainly hope you have checked out our music, maybe made a vote in our favor, but more importantly took the time to experience some Art. So whether or not we place in the competition, the greater goal of Art being presented or at least celebrated for a week is the accomplishment. To all the artists, best of luck and keep going no matter how hungry you are.

“Footprints right out of the gate, nice, totally digging it.
Working title is nice too. Smooth Silk is cool.
I’m impressed with the whole body of work.”
- James Chism
Vice President /Jazzonian/Jazz Museum of FloridaEvent ChairSouth Florida Jazz Summit
“Imagine a collaboration with Grover Washington Jr., Lee Morgan, and Danger Mouse; funky beats, slick chord changes, and melodic lines built on heavy jazz chops. In the sought after genre, Brad Fritcher + trois is original and inventive above all else.”
- Brian Oberlin
“Serendipity upon serendipity last night at Skeetown Tavern in Muskegon: Hearing the second great quintet of Miles Davis invoked by a group of talented young players (led by trumpeter Brad Fritcher) was already marvelous; Then, to have one of the areas legendary players, Dan Giacobassi, drop by and blow tenor saxophone on Miles’ classic So What? for a small group of us at the end of the evening was transcendent.”

"Multi-faceted musicians make up a multi-faceted band. Hailing from a variety of genres—everything from classical to metal to jazz—Brad Fritcher + trois has taken off in the past few months, finding an enormous amount of success in a short amount of time."
- Mary Mattingly
Grand Valley Lanthorn
"Harmonic Integrity x Architectural Properties + Passion
The Brad Fritcher + trois project consists of four eager musicians who are expanding their artistic vision beyond the strict confines of the jazz genre’s tradition. After the first rehearsal on GVSU’s campus, the trio of Brad Fritcher (trumpet), Dutcher Snedeker (piano) and Christian VanDuinen (drums) knew immediately that they were working with something valuable. Shortly thereafter, Ryan Wallace drifted into the bass position and into the studio at Blue Lake Public Radio they went. The album that came forth is one that conveys each member’s ability to communicate intellectually and musically to themselves, each other and the listener. After the release of the album, Blue Lake Studio Sessions, the Brad Fritcher + trois continues to tether audiences to their concepts and their sound with live and intimate performances."
