White guys playing rock-jazz-latin-punk-indie-alternative-fusion. An older guy said Niel Young on crack. Others have said, "Oh man, you sound like Sublime/The Violent Femmes!"
We've got different songs, though. Check out our influences. Check us out at gigs.

Silent Trio has been rocking in some form or another since early 2007, when a craigslist ad was created and replied to.
We're looking for more musicians to round out our trio.
Jim:
I’ve played saxophone since 1992. Jazz improvisation lessons on the horn and a few music theory classes taught me music as I know it today. As a longtime Primus fanatic, I acquired the desire to self-teach the bass guitar, left-handed. To facilitate in the communication of songs I wrote, I learned guitar. I have performed with rock, jazz big band, small groups, metal, and alternative groups. In the Arctic Circle during the summer of 2004, I started self-recording on my Dell calling the self-recordings Bandwagon. Since then, I fancy file sharing and recording with friends many miles apart. I also enjoy playing drums, my wind synthesizer, and tickling some ivory. I travel far and wide to hear live performances.
Nathan:
I picked up guitar while I was living in Mexico in 1998, because punk rock was awesome. After a couple years, I put together a rock trio with my brother and my best friend, and we locked ourselves in a cement block room and played every day because there were no venues for indie cover bands. In 2004, I moved to Florida, and two bands and a couple of years later, I started Silent Trio. In Spring of 2008, I started taking guitar performance and music theory at St Petersburg College.
