From an early age, Christian was heavily involved in musical theatre, where he first became familiar with standards and the Great American Songbook. By the age of 17, Wiggs began performing frequently in and around Houston, including engagements opening for Tony DeSare and the Houston Symphony Orchestra. While pursuing a music degree at Texas State University, Wiggs continued to refine his interpretation and style and made his way into the Austin jazz scene. Wiggs has released three studio albums and serves as the host and producer of “Off The Bandstand”, a series of conversations with local and national jazz musicians. Christian has shared the stage with acclaimed musicians such as Andre Hayward, Mike Sailors, Ron Wilkins, John Mills, Kate Kortum, Robert Ellis, David Young, and Utah Hamrick. —— Benny Benack III is a trumpet player and vocalist based in New York City. Benny performs widely as a frontman for Postmodern Jukebox, the vintage music collective famed for canny old-school covers of modern pop.  In early 2020, he released A Lot of Livin’ to Do, the follow-up to his well-received 2017 debut album One of a Kind, which features bassist Christian McBride and drummer/producer Ulysses Owens, Jr., as well as Takeshi Ohbayashi on piano and Rhodes. Benny has been showcased in international tours at Jazz at Lincoln Center Shanghai, JALC’s “NY Jazz All-Stars” (Mexico) and extensively throughout Asia and Europe and has headlined festivals around the U.S.  Benny has been featured at Birdland, Mezzrow, Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle and other leading New York venues.  He has played in the house band for NBC’s “Maya & Marty,” and appeared as a multi-genre trumpet soloist with the Christian McBride Big Band, Diplo/Major Lazer, Ann Hampton Callaway, Melissa Errico, Josh Groban, Ben Folds, fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi and more. Benny was a 2014 finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Trumpet Competition, and winner of the 2011 Carmine Caruso International Trumpet Competition.  He is a clinician and educator, leading workshops for Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Jazz for Young People program, as well as the New York Youth Symphony’s Education department.  In 2020 he led a panel at the annual Jazz Congress on Audience Engagement, together with Christian McBride, Marilyn Maye and Veronica Swift. —— https://bandstandpresents.com
