February 22, 2026 7:00-9:30PM Breakwater at The Fallser Club

 

After a few years away from the music scene, R&B Jazz/ Funk band BREAKWATER has reunited and come back stronger than ever, ready to continue a musical journey that many felt was left unfinished. Though some missed the artistry of the band that has since been sampled by Daft Punk, as well as Kindred The Family Soul with Snoop Dogg, they were still able to establish one of the most solid, devoted, and loving fan bases that continues to exist and support them to this day.

Five of the eight original members of the Arista recording act are back- Gene Robinson Jr., Lead Vocals, Jimmy Jones, Drums/ Vocals, John "Dutch" Braddock, Percussion, Greg Scott Woodwinds/Vocals, and Steve Green, Bass/ Vocals have come together for a second go-round of Funk, great love songs and jazz grooves that made them a regular on the music scene here in the region and places near and far.

Happy to be back- armed with new songs and solid grooves, Breakwater has set out to satisfy the thirst of those devoted followers as well as bringing in a whole new listening audience of those who just never got the chance to experience their unique mix of R&B jazz funk featuring top notch horns, easy melodies, and pulsating grooves. 

So if you ever have the opportunity to check them out live, it promises to be an unforgettable experience. The original Breakwater members are: Gene Robinson Jr., James Gee Jones,  Linc 'Love' Gilmore, Steve Green, Vince Garnell, Greg Scott, John 'Dutch' Braddock, and the late Kae Williams Jr.

PNC Arts Alive Jazz Cultural Voices Series Presents:

VERTICAL CURRENT

*THIS SATURDAY* February 21 - 7:30pm



PNC Arts Alive Jazz Cultural Voices Series is excited to raise the roof with Philly-based Vertical Current. Founded in 2019 by trumpeter Christopher Michael Stevens, Vertical Current blends soul, jazz, and gospel with undeniable energy and incredible musicianship. They’ve become the go-to backing band for artists like Chrisette Michele and Frank McComb, and have opened for stars including Robert Glasper and Raheem DeVaughn. Their sound is as electric as the city they call home.

Over the course of five albums, “aRe” (2011), “Bright Side Of Midnight” (2014), “After Midnight” (2017), “The Future Is Bright” (2018), “The Rain” (feat. Khari Mateen) (Single) (2022), and “A Vertical Current Christmas” (2024), Vertical Current has uplifted and inspired audiences with strong melodies and funky rhythms showcasing the many ways this ensemble gets down. Individually, members have toured and recorded with legends like Roberta Flack, John Legend, Jill Scott, and The Roots — experiences that fuel the band’s dynamic, high-level performances.

Get ready for an unforgettable night as Vertical Current brings their signature blend of groove, spirit, and soul to the Clef Club stage. Expect a performance that will lift you up as high as their name suggests—proof that the future of soul and jazz is shining bright here in Philly.
