Trouble in the Wind started as a raw country-rock group consisting of singer-songwriter Robby Gira and bassist Trevory Mulvey. With the addition of multi-instrumentalist Kyle Merritt and accomplished drummer Larry Doran, Trouble in the Wind blossomed into a musical group able to spin larger-than-life, rich cinematic tales. The band can be described as a blend of Americana/Rock ‘n’ Roll with folk foregrounds through a Talking Heads/Johnny Cash medium.
Trouble In the Wind will appear in a special showcase concert at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 23, on the Coors Light Rock On Stage. Trouble in the Wind will be performing soon at the Musicpalooza sponsor venues, House of Blues andThe Casbah.
