Meet The Tres Amigos: 

"Seamless collaboration meets shameless appropriation. Every Amigos show is at once a lesson in ethnomusicology and a raucous good time --- side splitting, foot stompin' fun!" -Jerry James, Director of Teaching and Learning, The Center for Arts Education 

"The Tres Amigos are a fresh and engaging new sound. They make music that is spontaneous, original, and funny, and their ideas and performance skills blend perfectly with their visceral appeal." -Gerald Busby, composer of film score to Robert Altman's 3 Women, longtime Chelsea Hotel resident 

Fresh off a 14-state, cross-country tour, The Tres Amigos are one of New York City's hottest folk acts. They present high-energy original music and forgotten gems in bold, acrobatic performances. Behind those matching mariachi shirts are virtuosic musicians and songwriters, delivering the goods in sunny three-part harmony with the vibe of your uncle’s old ‘45’s. 

Every Tres Amigos performance careens from bluegrass to blues, from wild-man jazz to honky-tonk, with a "latin tinge," — a testament to the diverse and interconnected origins of American music. 

Recent highlights include a 3-night run at The Blue Note in NYC, The Blue Plate Special Radio show in Knoxville TN, the Mountain Meltdown in Olean, NY, Ashkenaz in Berkeley CA, and numerous outreach, education, and college performances across America. 

Hailing from the rolling hills of North Carolina, vocalist/guitarist Justin Poindexter is the descendent of a long line of southern storytellers. His songs and guitar pickin’ have been featured in award-winning films and albums, and in hundreds of venues from Georgia roadhouses to Lincoln Center in New York City. Justin is the recipient of numerous grants for his music research and composition, including grants from the Semans’ Art Fund and the Howard Hanson Institute for American Music. 

Vocalist/accordionist Sam Reider is to The Tres Amigos what the green chile is to the tamale. His wild and constantly surprising playing has been lighting up stages all across the country. Raised in the musical hotbed of San Francisco, Sam's voice and keyboard stylings have been featured on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz on National Public Radio and in a variety of touring bands and orchestras. 

A former resident of Oaxaca, Mexico and an alumnus of the Juilliard School, vocalist/saxophonist/percussionist Eddie Ray Barbash is the virtuosic fuel of The Tres Amigos machine. Winner of many awards for saxophone performance, Eddie Ray has performed in festivals all over the world including New Orleans’ Jazz Fest and the Monterey Jazz Festival. As a percussionist, Eddie wields the Stradivarius of washboards, the Zinc King.
