Ed, Ian, and Jake, old Oberlin College buddies, began playing together in 1994 as part of the traditional bluegrass band, Weedkiller. Years later, the three of them reassembled in New York as the Lonesome Trio, compiling a repertoire of their own unclassifiable songs and performing them at New York venues such as the Rockwood Music Hall, Parkside Lounge, Bowery Ballroom, Irving Plaza, and Galapagos. They also had a total blast playing at Scot and Kerry's wedding.
the songs: the first two are from the tremendously fun show at the Parkside on Sept 28 2007. the second two songs are from the Parkside in December 2006.
Dennis Lichtman joins us on fiddle for The Greek, which was written by Frank Wakefield, and the Tahoe Wedding Song, which was written by Jake. Vito Dieterle plays sax on the Tahoe Wedding Song. Scot Armstrong wrote the lyrics to The Armstrong Song, one of our favorites.

No plans for a cross-country trip just yet, sadly. But I love that you perform in NYC. Whenever I hear bluegrass and folk music, I don't particularly envision the East Coast. :-)
