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 into 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 appearing at Whitevale Porchfest in 2024 and the Wintersong Music Festival (Stouffville) in January 2025. They are looking forward to appearing at both Springtide (Uxbridge) and the Markham Village Music Festival in June 2025.

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.
