Events for February 28, 2026

Erin Bode and Marco Grillo will lead a session of Marco’s time-tested jazz workshop, The Jazz Toolkit, bringing a little piece of Palermo to Tower Grove South.

This hands-on workshop explores the fundamentals of jazz while giving participants the chance to learn and grow alongside Bode and Grillo. Bring your instrument, whatever it may be. The session is designed to be collaborative and welcoming, whether you’re just beginning your jazz journey or have years of experience.

No tickets or reservation necessary. This event is open to the public, with a suggested donation.

Combining the pure, crystal-clear vocals of Erin Bode with the nuanced jazz artistry of guitarist Marco Grillo, this duo delivers a sophisticated blend of jazz, folk, and Americana. Their collaboration strips away complex arrangements to highlight the intimate connection between a "bell-like" voice and the evocative strings of the guitar.

Together, they offer a repertoire that ranges from Great American Songbook standards to original pieces rich in harmonic texture, creating a "fresh, subtle manner" of storytelling through song.
