The Khyber
So Sunday was a long day for the Trio. At noon we gathered at 1100 for a rehearsal to work up a few new things. At around 2, we were visited by Jessica Bratton from SPARK, for a photo shoot. We're performing on August 8th at Mojo 13 for the Spark Summer Music Series, so we needed new pictures. We cued up for a couple on the deck before heading ( Read more... ) -

Can’t Believe My Eyes
Dicking Me Around
Broken Circle
Leave The Biker

JT3 does LZII @ Mojo13
So last night The Joe Trainor Trio took part in Mojo's "Cover Series". Our choice? Led Zeppelin II. Part of the appeal was performing an album so heavily based on guitar without having one. It started off with everyone showing up on time (Mike was the first one there...whoda thought? As we're standing out front we heard the second band (Athem ( Read more... ) -

The North Star Bar - January 29, 2008
OK. I rolled into the Mighty North Star Bar last night with the band's gear at around 6pm. The band would be along later, so I had been charged with taking care of the load-in. Got all of the stuff in the building shortly after 6 and waited for everyone to arrive. Slowly the other bands trickled in and Mike & Kevin showed up by 8:30 or so. ( Read more... ) -
Setlist for Mojo 13 (January 24, 2008)
We played a blistering set on Thursday night at Mojo 13. We shared the bill with The Paul Lewis Band (really amazing songwriter whose band features my brother Allen on bass), and Burbon Armoury (a power trio from West Chester). Here's the run-down of the setlist...no surprises, but since it's a short set, I'll provide a blow-by-blow:

Trio show #2
Saturday night the Trio played a nice set at The Deer Park Tavern opening up for Long Walk Home. It was weird getting used to the sound setup there, and the new environment found us rushing a few things. But the dancing drunk dude made everything worthwhile. Here's the setlist ( Read more... ) -

The Joe Trainor Trio
Friday night was the debut of The Joe Trainor Trio (JT3) at Kid Shelleen's in Wilmington. For the first time in almost ten years I had to perform three full sets of material. We learned 2.5 hours of music in just about a month and did a fine job playing for the unreasonably packed crowd at the bar. I was joined by Kevin Niemi on Bass (Schwa, ( Read more... )
