Rhodes and trio boast eclectic jazz lineup

Nico Rhodes finds inspiration in every genre, but his music is his own.

He and his trio are promising a wildly eclectic musical ride on Sunday, Jan. 10 at the Crofton Hotel Pub as the Jazz at Crofton series continues.

They’ve been to Crofton before so fans will already know to make tracks to this show. The fun is back at the pub every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. Musicians are invited to join in a jam session during the last hour. Admission is $10 per person but get there early, it’s an intimate venue.
