I put the Moonrise Trio together to play music from my forthcoming debut solo album, ‘This Love’.

The trio has quickly found a sound of its own. This sound comprises Ben Higham’s muscular and energetic tuba playing, John Bodger’s propulsive drumming, and my own breathy trumpet sound and looping.

Featuring circular patterns, atmospheric electronics and driving rhythms, the Moonrise Trio will be launching their debut EP, ‘As I Sensed’ with a UK tour in December 2026, and we look forward to many more gigs…

Moonrise Trio:

• Chris Dowding (trumpet & electronics)
• Ben Higham (tuba)
• John Bodger (drums)
