Trip Van Winkle
Dubbed "the modern classic," Trip Van Winkle is perhaps best summed up by the words fellow singer/poet Gil-Scott Heron used to describe himself: "hard to get to know, but near about impossible to forget."
Ever one to choose the path less traveled, his varied musical interests have taken him far and wide, garnering interest and acclaim wherever they land. Whether fielding record deals from mafiosos in Brooklyn, performing as opening act for a general presidential election candidate, selling out choral performances in Carnegie Hall, or producing a viral music video dedicated to the country of Nepal only to get swept up in a political movement and fall victim to Internet censorship, Trip plays an integral role in whichever community he resides.
Trip's music fuses the very best of pop, rock, blues, folk, and psychedelia into a blend described as ‘psychedelic folk pop.’ It’s like if Tool played acoustic blues alongside Coldplay and Paul Simon on a boat ride up the Hudson: a powerful blend that resonates long after the last note's been played.
