That’s a question Psaros has been asking himself for years. Psaros, a long time resident of the Northeast was born into a family of the self employed. Like the self employed, his music has ebbed and flowed in and out of “where the work is,” so to speak. Crossing genres as needed and blending styles as desired. Psaros has worked in a most peculiar musical landscape. His gigs have ranged from bar rooms, to medieval themed dinner theaters, to small clubs, house concerts, weddings and everything in between. He’s hustled as a booking agent, produced for other artists, written music blogs and even taught the occasional lesson. Recently, a stroke of good fortune. With just over a decade in the music industry, the sweaty bars and medieval costumes have given way to support slots for national acts and small headlining tours at regional clubs. Psaros has shared the stage with the likes of The Mavericks, Boz Scaggs, Daughtry, Third Eye Blind, Tower of Power, Ziggy Marley, Donovan Frankenreiter, Anders Osborne, Los Lonely Boys, Rick Springfield, Lisa Loeb, Three Dog Night, Rusted Root, Peter Cetera, Little River Band, The Original Wailers, Eddie Money, and Joe Nichols to name a few. Most recently, Psaros has released a string of acclaimed singles throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic which have helped him solidify his standing as one of the regions most authentic and versatile songwriters. His single "Zombies," earned him an invite to Live Stream with the world famous C.F. Martin & Co. via their facebook page, gaining exposure to millions of acoustic enthusiasts. His next single "Rise When You Fall" earned Psaros an invite to perform at Boston's Wang Theater's "Ghost Light Series," bringing awareness to the shuttered iconic theater and the shuttered events industry as a whole. Later in 2020, his Christmas song "I Dream of Christmas with You" was featured during the opening credits of Lifetime Network's "Christmas on Ice." Psaros' work throughout the Pandemic has allowed him to stay at the top of the call list for some of the nations most prominent acts. In the summer of 2021, Psaros will be touring as support alongside Three Dog Night, Foreigner and REO Speedwagon on dates throughout the country. He will also be headlining regional clubs and small theaters throughout the Northeast. Carlin Tripp Carlin Tripp began his musical journey in the late ’90s with a borrowed acoustic guitar and a dream of becoming a songwriter and performer. After a brief stint with a local band, Tripp hit the road with his guitar for the Southwest and began that journey, releasing his first solo work, The Belfry EP, in 2010. He has continued to write and record ever since. Born Carlin Hosmer Tripp on the small island of Nantucket, he spent the first years of his life breathing the salty air, exploring the island, and listening to records with his mom. After moving back to the mainland, he grew up in Westport, MA but always dreamed of where he could live next. He attended Northeastern University in Boston but soon transferred to the College of Santa Fe to pursue a degree in art. It was there, in the land of enchantment, that Tripp found his voice and budding style as a folk/americana songwriter. After a year or two, he grew restless and took off – living, writing and performing in places as diverse as Texas, Colorado, Prescott, Utah, Michigan, and Virginia. Tripp eventually returned to the Northeast, and in 2018, released The Shape of the Island, produced by his good friend and collaborator Jay Psaros, to critical acclaim. The album garnered the attention of Reid Genauer who invited Tripp to open for Strangefolk at the Paradise Rock Club. He is currently working remotely with producer Mickelson in California on new music to be released in 2021. Jay Psaros Carlin Tripp
