The New Hip Trio

Fiddler Joe DeZarn, pianist Liz Donaldson, and bassist Ralph Gordon have been playing traditional dance music together as The New Hip Trio since 2007.  Blending their collective experience playing tunes from mostly the Irish, American, Quebecois and Old-time fiddle repertoire, their music brings spark and flair to the dance floor. The New Hip Trio transcends simply delivering good dance music: through deep expertise, attention, and artistry, the band creates delightful, memorable dance experiences.
