Mike Block Trio

Mike Block Trio, featuring Joe K. Walsh (mandolin/vocals) & Zachariah Hickman (bass/vocals), is led by cellist/singer/composer Mike Block, a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble who has been hailed as “one of the bravest, most intriguing musicians on the American fusion scene” by Gramophone. The trio fertilizes American roots music with contemporary and international influences, bringing an exciting and personal perspective to the acoustic music scene.

“A collection of playful and stoic reinterpretations of Appalachian folk and world beat music. Never before have we heard the combination of these three instruments traverse such a wide breadth of music so effortlessly; it’s equal parts Baroque, bluegrass and latin jazz, virtuosic all the same.” ~WBUR Boston
