Portland native Ben "Snacks" Turner plays many kinds of keyboards with many kinds of bands. He has toured the US with Dirty Revival and Curtis Salgado. At a rehearsal years ago, he ate way too much pizza - like, an indefensible amount of pizza - and the nickname "Snacks" stuck. Former projects include Supraphonics, Heavy Brothers, Manimalhouse, Dirty Revival, and The Ken Derouchie Band. Ben graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Piano in 2016.

Trio Flux is the collaborative effort of three talented Portland musicians, Neil Mattson (guitar), Julio Appling (bass), and Adam Ochshorn (drums).  The trio brings together a wide array of musical moods and textures, stretching the bounds of the traditional guitar-bass-drums jazz trio.  Trio Flux, as the name suggests, adeptly moves through its funky grooves, its dark and distorted rock gestures, to its twangy free-jazz improvisations with a focus on musical dialogue between the three.  The band strives to have a unique sound but doesn’t deny its influences.  Guitarist Neil Mattson’s compositions betray his listening habits, Ornette Coleman, Bill Frisell, Herbie Hancock, Charlie Haden, and Pat Metheny, to name a few.
