The Baltimore-based Joshua Espinoza Trio blends jazz, pop, and folk music into a sound uniquely their own. Their eclectic concerts captivate audiences with their distinct original compositions paired with interpretations of masterpieces by The Beatles, The Eagles, Leonard Cohen, and other legendary songwriters. Their debut album "Journey Into Night" was released in 2019 to critical acclaim, and their 2023 album "Songs from Yesterday" was hailed as a "complete triumph" by All About Jazz. Enjoyed by listeners worldwide, their 2021 single "And So It Goes" broke into the Top 40 on Spotify's Global Jazz Charts.

Latino-American pianist and 2018 Ellis Marsalis International Jazz Piano Competition finalist Joshua Espinoza fuses the spontaneity of jazz with soaring folk melodies, shimmering impressionism, and head bopping backbeats. Espinoza explores the art of musical storytelling with the refinement of classical chamber music but the freedom of jazz. Espinoza has performed professionally with jazz luminaries such as Sean Jones, Warren Wolf, Miho Hazama, Jihye Lee, Paul Bollenback, John D’earth, Mike Pope, Chuck Redd, and Kris Funn.
