About Me

THANKS TO VORCAN for the art work of the mermaid that we then put words on!
Also catch The SEA Trio at:
The Sea Trio are a 4-piece electronic/ guitar outfit from Philadelphia, PA. The band formed onstage in Fall 2006 and has since played regularly in Philly and New York, including shows at World Cafe Live, the North Star Bar and the Khyber, often with guest horn players from the Sun Ra Arkestra. They have played on bills with bands such as Black Moth Super Rainbow, Nomo, The Breakfast and Grimace Federation.
Stuart Brooks (guitar), Ephraim Asili (electronic beats), Andy Schwartz (keys) formed the band with a shared taste for early-70s electric Miles Davis albums, and the music now combines that textured jazz sound with elements of dub, funk, electronica and experimental rock. The SEA Trio now also includes Jennie Portney on effects processed clarinet!!
Every Sea Trio set is a foray into the unknown, basing improvisations on themes that flow seamlessly over their set. With engaging films and visuals playing in the background, the band creates a mesmerizing onstage multimedia experience that is different every time they play.
To contact the band for booking, please contact Andy at [email protected]
