TRIBORO Folk Acoustic Harmony Trio

Appearing at the Old Stone House
Sunday, October 6, 4 PM.

TRIBORO hails from the boroughs of New York, but looks beyond the Hudson to other places and other times for songs and inspiration. They are an acoustic vocal trio that applies fine three-part harmony to an eclectic mix of musical genres. Hear great old-time, new-time, Classic Country/Carter Family, bluegrass and beyond.

TRIBORO is:
Phyllis Elkind (Manhattan)
Phyllis' early influences were the Weavers and Pete Seeger. She was lead singer in the country Western dance band, "Midnight Rodeo", and brings great country material to Triboro. She is the founder of the ever popular, "Freddie and the Drumsticks"; a women's rock band. She plays guitar in Triboro and her first and remaining love is singing harmony.

Don Friedman (Brooklyn)
Don began playing guitar and singing at about 8 years, and realized that he could harmonize at about 9 ("hey, you're not singing the tune!".) He played with a high school rock band, but was particularly influenced by the folk music revival of the '60s. In recent years, Don has been exploring old-time, country and bluegrass music, and enjoys songs with an international flavor. He plays rhythm and lead guitar. He served for a number of years as a jam session leader and a guitar instructor at Vocal Week at the Augusta Heritage Center in West Virginia.

Evy Mayer (The Bronx)
Evy is a former social worker who started playing guitar at age 13. After a trip to Hawaii in 1989, she started to play ukulele, and fell in love with the instrument. In addition, she plays dumbek and other percussion instruments, and enjoys international music and folk dancing. Evy also performs on and produces albums. She is enjoying Triboro's musical exploration of Carter family material.
