The Trishas "Give It Away"

Full disclosure. There were a whole lotta GUYS that we filmed at this year's MusicFest at Steamboat. And a handful of women, and they are called The Trishas. They were born, same time as we were, two years ago at MusicFest, as the backup singers for Ray Wylie Hubbard's performance of "Papa Was A Rolling Stone." They commented that Ray even taught them how to do the choreography, by way of The Temptations from back in the day. The girls had gotten together towards the end of 2008 for what they thought was going to be one show, a tribute to songwriter Kevin Welch at 2009's MusicFest at Steamboat. So Jamie Wilson, of the band The Gougers, Liz Foster, late of Liz & Lincoln, Kelley Mickwee, formerly of Jed & Kelley, and Kevin's daughter Savannah Welch became The Trishas. And two others have been added to their ranks, Trisha Keefer, and John Ross Silva. They have been growing the story ever since---writing, touring, and getting better every time we see them.

At their Steamboat gig this year, there was a line out the door to get in before their show started. People that have seen them tell their friends, and so on, and so on. We hope you will tell your friends after you watch this video, that is, if you haven't already told them, and go see them out on tour. Last summer The Trishas released what they call a 'mini-album,' They Call Us The Trishas. From it, let's dig into a Music Fog version of "Give It Away."
