deMania Trio
Founded on a mutual interst in playing an extreme diversity
of music where no genre is sacred, this trio takes on Mingus to Bach, India to
Appalachia, as well as their own unique compositions. deMania is Alex de Grassi on guitar, Michael Manring on bass, and Chris Garcia on percussion. When tabla meets acoustic guitar and electric bass, anything
is fair game for unlikely arrangements and extended improvisation. These three players bring together a
wealth of traditions to make the classic sound new and the new sound familiar.
