Doppler Trio

The Doppler Trio performs melody driven, passionate original compositions that won’t lose the listener in abstract improvisation or blistering fast tempos. This Bay Area band has been together since 2004 and released four albums. Their latest release, Sherbert Reynalds, was recorded by Desmond Shea at the legendary Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco. Erik Hoagland - Saxophone Brandon Essex - Bass Brian Carmody - Drums THE DOPPLER TRIO sets out to play music that has the drive of rock, the harmonic and melodic vocabulary of jazz, and the joy of a backyard BBQ with good friends, sunshine and plenty of food and beverage. The music is written and performed with the intent of bringing every listener along for the wild ride. Erik graduated from The Berklee College of Music, and is an RN at a Bay Area hospital. Brandon studied music at the University of Cincinnati, builds custom bass amplification equipment, and rebuilds pianos and now flies commercial planes Brian Carmody has a Doctorate in Music from USC, and recently composed the score to the documentary SOMM.
