We play songs we love, from all different artists, we just play them acoustic.
A Trine is an aspect of astrology, defined as,“Trines are indicative of fun, creativity, an easy spirit and bounteous talent. Pleasure is the byword here, coupled with a sense of idealism and ease in doing things. If there is a shadow side to a trine, it is a willingness to do little, to accept gifts already bestowed and leave it at that. The beauty of a trine's energy is that it doesn't require much action to be activated. One is often blessed with minimal effort.” We thought this sounded like us, so here we are, "The Trine."
After purchasing a Cajon (a wooden box you sit on and play with your hands), drummer Scott Schroedl wanted a place to play it. What better excuse to start another band! Pulling from exceptional southern Wisconsin talent, Scott hand-picked local singer Mayme Keagy and former band mate guitarist Rob Olsen. All three musicians agreed to keep it acoustic, keep it fun, and keep it simple. The Trine was born.
