Sounds Like: Trio Acoustica in Vilnius.I had the good fortune to come across these guys at the Tai-As Festival in Vilnius last year (2007). Although we were on different legs of the tour round Lithuania, we all met up for the final concerts in Vilnius. It seems the Trio are old festival favourites there, and it was easy to see why. They’re all natural musicians, who blend their various strengths so effortlessly, it can be difficult to see who is actually doing what. Both the vocal and the guitar work combines for rich effect, and their confidence and ease with each other invites the audience in to create an intimate experience, even within the baroque grandeur of St Catherines (incidentally one of the most gorgeous venues I’ve ever seen).Their music evokes the sunshine of California, the landscapes of Scandinavia, the cotton fields of the South, with dashes of Latin and jazz …. Three great players who play for the love of it, with no pretense or side! I’ll be looking out for their first dates over here in the UK, and I recommend you do too!Steve DowlingGet your layout on
