Artist description Acoustic trio from Northwest of Italy

Music Style Folk

Artist History The group started up in 2001, thanks to the meeting of three musicians with different backgrounds (bluegrass, classical, Piedmontese traditional music), but sharing the same interest in folk music, which they have been playing for several years. The repertory is a sort of journey into the popular music, from the States to the East of Europe, passing through Ireland and Bretagne. It is rigorously played unplugged on original arrangements by the Trio. // Il gruppo nasce nel 2001, dall incontro di tre musicisti provenienti da esperienze diverse (bluegrass, classica, musica tradizionale piemontese), uniti perņ dal comune interesse per il folk, ambito in cui sono attivi da anni.
