Jazz George Maurer Trio Jazz Download Media Kit [object Object] Three instruments and the musicians who play them. That's all you really need to stage an evening of fun with the George Maurer Trio. The George Maurer Trio knows how to jazz up a small space with a big sound - or a not-so-big sound, if that's what the occasion calls for. These experienced musicians are versatile, adaptable and utterly unflappable. The trio adds a bit of class to any venue and puts their jazz-infused touch on virtually every musical style, with George's piano leading the way. They're at their best covering American swing and pop but are happy to have their way with everything from Gershwin to the Beatles. Adept at making themselves comfortable in unique performance settings, they have gigged on the swaying decks of riverboats and in steamy park band shells, held down big concert halls and tucked themselves into ballroom corners at wedding receptions. Regardless, they'll perform with ease, style and smiles. >> Career Highlights George Maurer is best known as one of Minnesota's premier jazz pianists, but his musical collaborations have taken him around the globe as a performer, arranger and composer.

George put his skills to work in spring 2011 as he worked on the world-class Minnesota Orchestra's "'80s Rewind!" show co-arranging four songs, leading the band, directing the vocalists and playing keyboards for shows at Minneapolis's Orchestra Hall and with the Florida Symphony. His repertoire includes indie movie soundtracks, 15 CDs, arrangements for everyone from gospel choirs to rock icons and an always-full itinerary of George Maurer Trio, Group and Variety Group performances. He has developed a well-traveled pop side gigging around the country with bands like the Crickets and pop star Bobby Vee. He music directed, arranged and performed at a Buddy Holly tribute at the House of Blues on L.A.'s Sunset Strip, where he worked with rock legends like Clapton. No stranger to the theatrical stage, George has performed and music directed a long list of shows, including "RENT" and the Chanhassen Dinner Theaters' "Altar Boyz" and "Swing!" Armed with an uncanny ability to interpret, arrange for, and produce and perform numerous musical styles, from traditional jazz to bebop, classic to modern rock, to country and beyond, George is called upon often to be a hired gun for numerous recording and theatrical ventures. >> Testimonials "One of Central Minnesota's sparkling contributions to the arts." -Dale Connelly/Jim Ed Poole/ MPR's The Morning Program "Jazz beyond suburbia...and then way out..." -Leigh Kamman, host of The Jazz Image on Minnesota Public Radio "The George Maurer Group has a refreshing energy to their performances with an irreverent style and sly musical humor." -The Dakota Bar & Grill, St. Paul "The diverse backgrounds of all these players make for a concert experience that's pure entertainment." -Jazz88FM (KBEM), Minneapolis >> Basic Set-Up Needs The technical needs for this artist vary depending on the type of show and presentation space.

You are my soul mate.” SHOW Laura has created innovative props and brought new life to old favorites, never settling for average. In her show, you will be delighted by a human-sized hamster ball, side-splitting humor, exciting audience participation, award-winning juggling, and astounding acrobatic feats performed 25 feet in the air on her aerial fabric rig.

Laura can provide a variety of strolling ambient entertainment: Acrobatics & Balancing Stilt Walking Hula Hooping Human-Sized Hamster Ball (or Human Snow-Globe) Juggling PORTABLE AERIAL RIG Laura can bring the "awe" of aerial performances to your event with her portable rig! >> Career Highlights When Laura was little, her dad told her that if she picked a career that she truly loved then she would never have to work a day of her life. This probably wasn’t what he had in mind. It started innocently enough- learning to juggle for a middle school play in her small Iowa hometown. Her first performances were at street festivals in that hometown, wowing audiences with fire manipulation. Several years later, Laura has made a career out of her passion for entertaining. After joyfully juggling her way through college, Laura graduated and began her first job…behind a desk. This is where the journey really begins. After a couple of months, Laura realized that a “normal” job would never be fulfilling for her; she packed everything into her car and moved to the East Coast. After many trials and tribulations, she began to achieve the success she had worked so hard for. In 2008 Laura won 1st place at the World Juggling Federation, placing her among the best jugglers in the world. Then, on the 5th season of America’s Got Talent, Laura performed inside of her human-sized hamster ball- a prop so impressive it caused Howie Mandel to exclaim, “I love you! You are my soul mate.” Never settling for average, Laura has invented innovative props and brought new life to old favorites. In a career that is dominated by men, she has risen to the top. She has performed all over the world, and currently resides in Des Moines, Iowa with her wonderful husband Ryan. >> Testimonials “Laura was absolutely wonderful!!
