The history:
Formed as a three-piece group in 1986, the band has gone through many changes in personnel and style. At this juncture, the band refers to itself as a virtual jukebox, specializing in covers from Motown and classic rock as well as original material. Trilogy is certainly a busy outfit, playing between 80 and 95 shows per year.
What's up with the name:
The group’s moniker was adopted because originally the band was formed as a trio.
The style:
The sextet covers a variety of songs, from ’50s and ’60s sing-alongs to the music of today. The unique aspect of Trilogy is that it features several lead voices that can pull off three, four and five part harmonies. When combined with the horn section, the group describes its output as having a wall of sound effect.
