The Trouble brings a literate, lyrical edge to their roots-rock foundation, fusing Americana sensibility with a visceral blend of driving rhythms, snarling guitars, sharp melodic hooks, and intuitive country harmonies.
A collaboration between songwriters Marc Jeffares (formerly of Blue Yonder) and Chris Parreira (The Lonesome Roses), with bassist Jeff Krider (formerly of The Tao Jonesers) and drummer Sam Kaplan-Good (Blue Street Junction, The Small Axe). The Trouble is influenced by artists such as Neil Young and Crazy Horse, The Band, Ryan Adams and Tom Waits.
"Like a lot of great music, The Trouble feels at once comfortably familiar, and completely unique. They combine the best elements of the roots rock sound of the late 60s/early 70s, with sophisticated lyricism that works both as poetry unto itself, and as a way to enhance the vibe and the fun of the already great, rockin' music."

“Crazy Horse, but crazier!”

“Right off, The Trouble established themselves as the perfect bar band. They have the name, the driving rock-this-side-of-country sound and no shortage of either enthusiasm or enthusiastic fans.”
Jennifer Savage - Out On The Peninsula
