ABOUT
George Poe Trio has a flair for infusing familiar and beloved music with a fresh sensibility. The trio's musical virtuosity, combined with a witty stage presence, consistently proves to be a refreshing crowd pleaser. The light-hearted banter between these three makes instant connections with groups large and small.The fun they have is infectious; and in short order,both young and old are won over by their musical antics.
More than just a tribute to music's most enduring songs, the trio serves homage to a bygone era of songwriting and performing. They blur the lines between the classics, blues, pop, R&B, and jazz. The George Poe Trio transforms contemporary hit songs into classics while stylistic variations of song standards from the 30s thru the 90s sound better than ever.
Matthew masterfully plucks a vintage upright bass guitar that serves as an ideal backdrop to George's sophisticated, emotional blend of piano tinkling. Both trade off the role of lead vocal as Lee's disciplined percussion frames it all in a tasteful, soulful mix of danceable, singable tunes.
