MJI PRESENTS: ROBERTO ANTUNEZ QUARTET
The Roberto Antunez Quartet features:
Roberto Antunez — guitar
Isaiah Jones Jr. — piano
Nat Lin — bass
Sid Smith IV — drums
Milwaukee native Roberto Antunez is a versatile guitarist and bandleader whose musical journey began in his youth. He is a graduate of Milwaukee High School of the Arts, where he studied under Dr. Douglas Syme, and was also a member of Milwaukee Jazz Institute’s Youth Ensemble program. These experiences helped him develop a strong foundation as a performer.
Antunez continued his studies at Northern Illinois University, where he pursued a degree in jazz performance, studied under jazz director Reggie Thomas, and privately with world-renowned guitarist Bobby Broom.
Now based in Milwaukee again, Roberto performs with a variety of groups across several styles, including Latin, classical, regional Mexican, jazz, and blues. His versatility allows him to move comfortably between different musical settings while bringing his own sound and personality to each performance.
Roberto draws inspiration from artists such as Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Eric Gales, Cannonball Adderley, and Lee Morgan. Joined by Milwaukee native Isaiah Jones Jr. on piano, now based in Chicago, along with Chicago-based musicians Nat Lin on bass and Sid Smith IV on drums, this is sure to be a night to remember.
