Carl Rey and Truck Mills have been performing together in the Inland-Northwest region in clubs and music festivals for over 20 years. Both are excellent performers and masters of their instruments. They add their love of traditional blues, country, ragtime, jazz and vocal harmonies to the varied material they perform, creating a sound not unlike the classic guitar / harmonica duos of the past.
This concert will make you tap your feet and move to the music.

He leads his own groups including the Javatown Swing Orchestra and the Jake Bergevin Quartet and can also be heard playing with many other notable northwest bands and musicians.
His latest recording Holding Back the Dawn features ballads and bossa novas. Fans of Chet Baker, Kurt Elling, Mark Murphy, and Jon Hendrix will enjoy the fresh arrangements as well as a few original compositions.
His first recording as a leader, My Name is Jake, is a combination of sensitive jazz vocals and romping party/dance music. Conceived as a partial tribute to his heroes Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, Jake puts his own stamp on some classic tunes and demonstrates his crooning, blues shouting, scat-singing, and trumpet solo skills in fine fashion.
Jake has played performances at many of Seattle’s most prestigious venues and events, including the Showbox Theatre, Paramount Theatre, Bumbershoot, Folklife Festival, seventeen years running at the Ellensburg Jazz in the Valley Festival.
Also a successful band director and conductor, Jake Bergevin has held leadership positions with the IAJE (International Association for Jazz Education).
