The Brian Wride Trio...

... started rehearsing (sporadically) in May 2023 and played their first public performance  on August 1, 2024.  They are a neo-skiffle band combining elements of folk, blues, and country and adding an electric edge to render original takes on songs of love, loss, longing, and dysfunction - songs old and new, well-known and obscure.  Complementing Brian's guitar and lead vocals are Jon Grove on bass and vocals and Brad Jefferies on drums, harmonica,  and vocals. 

Jon has an extensive and varied musical background, including playing keytar in the band, Unsaid.

Brad also performs as a member of River Valley Revival and is the Drum Sergeant in the Uxbridge Legion Pipe & Drum Band.

Highlights for the Trio include appearances at the Wintersong Music Festival, the Springtide Music Festival, the Markham Village Music Festival, and  Whitevale Porchfest.

The Brian Wride Trio are exclusively a live act. They are nostalgic for the time before recorded music where music could only be enjoyed in a live setting.

While the Trio is ostensibly a "cover band", the average listener might only recognize a few songs and are unlikely to hear anything from the "cover band canon". The Trio's setlist is largely made up of obscure Canadiana and re-imagined classics, with the occasional original tune thrown in.
