Dosey Doe Coffee House presents The Trishas.  CLAUDE BOURBON Opens.

Think of what would happen if Texas dirt, Mississippi River water, City Lights, and Apple Pie all sat down in a pickin' circle at an Austin backyard party. This combination creates a kind of soul that no definition is worthy to define, and plants a seed of bluegrass that gives blues a place to grow from. The Trishas got together towards the end of 2008 for what they thought was going be one show, a tribute to songwriter Kevin Welch at 2009's Steamboat Music Festival.

The four songstresses, Jamie Wilson, of the sweetheart band of the hill country The Gougers, Liz Foster, Kelley Mickwee, formerly of Jed & Kelley, and Kevin's daughter Savannah Welch, permanently and evermore of the Welch clan, came together to do just that, sing...for the sake of the songs. And sing they did, around one microphone until there wasn't a single dry eye in the place. From the moment they stepped off the stage, it was obvious to all attending that this wasn't just for one show, no matter what they said.

To give you an idea of the sound you'll hear, think of what would happen if Texas dirt, Mississippi River water, City Lights and Apple Pie all sat down in a pickin' circle at an Austin, TX backyard party. This combination creates a kind of soul that no definition is worthy to define and plants a seed of bluegrass that gives blues a place to grow from. Add a couple of country accents, a lot of truth to be told and rhythm you couldn't shake a stick at...but you'll want to...and you've got The Trishas.
