While 2020 has proved to be the year where artists and musicians redefined themselves and were forced to adapt to stay employed, it also has become the year of creative duos and trios. One of dozens of local trios birthed in the era of coronavirus, and one not to be missed, will make its debut on Saturday, Nov. 14, at Kubel’s Too in Long Beach Township from 5 to 8 p.m.

The Ty Mares Trio, bound to shake things up, consists of local musicians Ty Mares, Tommy Allen Jr. and Matt Hillblom.

Originally from Colorado but now residing in Little Egg Harbor, Mares will act as the trio’s frontman.
