The Joe Trainor Trio is a piano-based rock trio known for its enigmatic original material and energetic live shows. Focusing on original material, JT3 creates intense and engaging live performances designed to defy the expectations of the listener. JT3 is anchored by Joe Trainor, whose vocals and piano ebb between enticing and heartfelt to soaring and aggressive. Kevin Niemi (bass) and Jeff Dement (drums) round out the Trio and provide the foundation with a precision and focus that help create the band’s singular sound.
JT3 has been taking people by surprise in venues throughout the Philadelphia/Wilmington region. Recently they headlined the Arden Fair where they performed Led Zeppelin II in its entirety, without a guitarist, much to the amazement of the 500 in attendence. In 2010 JT3 celebrated John Lennon’s 70 birthday with a performance of Abbey Road, also in its entirety. Shows like these create an event atmosphere which draws people in. Performing music rarely performed, and in a unique format, also helps create buzz for JT3′s original works.
JT3 is currently supporting its debut album “Drive”, and are currently working on the follow-up.
