Trinity River Band is a hard rocking Original band from Ft. Worth, Texas
It was formed in 1989 by two long time friends, Bill Helton and Jon Ferraro.
Over the years, the other members of the band may have changed, but
Bill and Jon stayed true to the band. That’s because they believed
In their music and in each other. As the years went by, they were
Honing their skills and looking for the right members to complete
The sound. First was Bill’s son Billy on Bass Guitar. Next, Rod Coffey
Entered the picture as a seasoned performer on Drums.
To top off the sound, they recruited top vocalist Martin Harshman.
They could tell from the first time they rehearsed together, that they were
On to something special.
The Recipe:
Take one large helping of Bill’s driving rhythm, add one heaping dose of Jon’s
Searing Guitar leads, add one thundering bad ass bass line by Billy, mix in a solid
serving of Rod’s backbeats, and top it all off with a supersize portion of Martin’s
piercing vocals. Mix well and you have the recipe for one HELL OF A ROCK BAND !!
The original songs crafted by the band remind you of a time when Rock really did Rock! It wasn’t all glossed over and slicked up by some fancy studio effects and
overdubbing. What you hear is what you get with these guys! The music is hard
driving and balls to the wall, but the songs are arranged in such a way as to
spotlight the amazing musicianship of the performers. Intricate, yet precise.
No three chords and a lot of unintelligible lyrics here. These guys only know
One way, “Rock and then Rock Harder !!” . If you haven’t heard them,
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW, BUT YOU WILL..
We play all over. A lot at The Hungry Musician in Arlington, Tx., Love it, couldn't dream of not playing live !
AC/DC, The Outlaws, Metallica, Allman Brothers. These are a few of our influences. We really got tired of all the sver engineered, slicked up studio stuff. Ever hear a great CD and then see the band live, and they suck? That's not us !! Our CD was made in a small studio with no effects except a little reverb on the vocals, PERIOD ! What you hear is what you get. Straight ahead Rock and Roll!
Gibson SG for lead, Peavey Vandenberg for rhythm, Washburn and Fender JP basses, Ludwig and Pearl drums. And oh yeah, My Peavey JSX Satriani head.(this thing rox!)
chasing a dream, don't wanna wake up yet.
