"I’m sure that anyone who made it to last week’s concert will share my opinion that the Steve Tarshis Trio would be a very  difficult and intimidating act to follow -- they delivered a magical night"..Mark McIntyre, rcta concerts

 

"Thank you so much for your amazing professionalism at the event last night.  I so enjoy working with you!  When I think of the event I keep thinking of the music and you!   Can't thank you enough for everything!"  Karen DiPeri, Wellness in the Schools fundraiser

We play all sorts of venues. Recent gigs have included large outdoor concerts, upscale parties at the Four Seasons and the Port Washington Yacht Club, Manhattan clubs, and small gatherings in NYC apartments. We are able to scale our sound to fit the occasion. 

About THE TRIO I’ve always loved instrumental music. My trio plays a repetoire of tunes by artists such as Neal Young, Buena Vista Social Club, the Beatles, U-2, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, the Greatful Dead, Bruce Springsteen and classic instrumentals like Sleepwalk, Last Date, and Cast Your Fate to the Wind. We also do jazz standards by artists such as Miles Davis, Count Basie, Keith Jarret and Thelonius Monk. We do Latin tunes, Motown classics,  and blues tunes of all kinds. I like to think of the music as a cross between the Ventures and Bill Frisell.It's a great listening experience for any kind of situation, or a party or  event.
