Andrew Trim

Born on the western coast of Lake Michigan, Trim crossed the Pacific at the tender age of five & spent his formative years living in Japan and training to be a ninja warrior. Years later, he returned to the place of his earliest memories and set up shop in the midwest, eventually finding himself working with some of the most talented and unique musicians in the region. His instrumental projects include Yr Knives, Hanami, Retroreflector & Dim Lighting.

As of 2026, he has released seven albums as a leader & worked on many others with artists as wide-ranging as Aluminum Group, Lady Cannon, Sleeping at Last, and legendary Jamaican dub producer The Scientist.

Critics have described Trim’s music as having a “ potent mix of sonic fluency and cinematic ambiance” (Dave Sumner, Bird is the Worm) noted his “patient approach” as “undeniably luxurious.”, and singled out his “lovely underwater guitar tone – which – softens the edges of his lines but retains a gentle bite.” (Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader).

For this performance, Trim will enhance his free improvising duo with legendary Milwaukee drummer Devin Drobka by adding Chicago improviser Daniel Van Duerm’s psychedelic keyboards to the proceedings.
