Adam Bronstein and Ellen Pieroni

Adam Bronstein (ABtrio) and Ellen Pieroni joined Rockabill Greg In the Flamingo Lounge on August 20, 2025. Ellen Pieroni, a soul jazz saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist from Buffalo, NY, has been a prominent figure in the local music scene for over a decade. Her band, Ellen Pieroni & the Encyclopedia of Soul (EoS), was recently featured on NPR's All Things Considered as a "jazz standout" in this year's Tiny Desk Contest. Their smooth, original music, inspired by artists like Grover Washington Jr. and King Curtis, is driven by Pieroni's captivating melodies and the band's thoughtful improvisations over deep grooves. Buffalo, NY guitarist Adam Bronstein is known for his clever songwriting and playful improvisation, creating instrumental music that blends bebop, fusion, soul-jazz, and psychedelia. With three studio albums released in the past two years—Intention/Invention, ABtrio, and Jazz ≠ Jazz—as well as the live album Live at Black Dots, Bronstein has established himself as a prolific artist. While touring with Louis Prima Jr. & The Witnesses and Ellen Pieroni and The Encyclopedia of Soul, he also leads his trio, ABtrio, on frequent tours across the Northeast and Midwest.
