From El Paso, a part of a class of young musicians making their mark on ATX, comes Demetreis Thornton. Drawing upon sounds reminiscent of the Curtis Fuller, Steve Davis, Benny Golson, Slide Hampton, and Art Blakey. Demetreis puts serving the music above all else, and has shared the stage with many national and local luminaries such as Mike Sailors, Christian Mcbride, Brad Leali, Quincy Davis and Nat Reeves to name a few.

Presenting a mix of hard swinging bop, melodious ballads, and feel good groove. Demetreis’ brings a modern sound steeped in the tradition of the masters that came before him. Studying under the great Andre Hayward, he is a familiar sight (and sound!) in all of Austin’s adored music venues.
