    A self-described jamgrass acoustic power trio, Three Ring Circle consists of Blue Highways resonator guitarist Rob Ickes, Ricky Skaggs fiddler and mandolin player Andy Leftwich, and Nashville bassist-about-town Dave Pomeroy. The trio have been making regular appearances in Nashville for several years, and the experience has given them a chance to develop a tight familiarity with one another that belies their nominal side project status. What theyve come up with is a sound and repertoire cohesive enough to make one forget that theres no conventional rhythm section. Melding sweet lyricism, audacious virtuosity and greasy funk in extended takes on both originals and well-chosen covers, Three Ring Circles debut is both bold and engrossing in a way thats likely to take listeners who know Ickes and Leftwich only from their main gigs by surprise.
