THE TRISHAS
High, Wide & Handsome (self released)

When Jamie Wilson, Liz Foster, Kelley Mickwee and Savannah Welch first shared a stage in January 2009, their intention was simply to perform a couple of songs as part of a tribute to Savannah’s father, singer-songwriter Kevin Welch. They had no plans to pursue a joint musical future, they didn’t even have a name, and wound up calling themselves The Trishas on a whim. But when magic happens, sometimes you have to give in to its power. Though The Trishas are all talented instrumentalists, they also recruited an all-star team to back them during sessions in Nashville: guitarist Kenny Vaughan, drummer Harry Stinson, bassist Viktor Krauss, and fiddler Tammy Rogers. Veteran engineer Mike Poole produced.
