92Y Tribeca
200 Hudson St. – TriBeCa

Wow! What a treat it was to find out Trixie Whitley was playing at 92YTribeca last Saturday, February 19, 2011. We used to frequent the 92YTribeca quite often over the last three years, but lately we have been going less and less. So it was a great surprise when I went on their site several weeks ago to see that Trixie Whitley was playing.

Trixie comes off as a beautiful, young, talented, quirky musician. If you have never heard or seen her play you may not know what to expect. On stage as she begins to play an old soul slowly begins to take her over. A very deep, heartfelt, passionate sound emerges. She has energy and punch mixed with melancholy and desire. She is quite a package on stage.

Trixie Whitley is the Daughter of Chris Whitley, an Incredibly talented musician who is a bit hard to define. You can see where she got her talent. Trixie is a Singer, Pianist, Drummer, and Guitarist. She played songs off of her CD “The Engine” at this show. She may play more instruments but I have only ever seen her play these. I have not spoken with her personally.

Trixie also shows off her talent with the band “Black Dub”. Daniel Lanois new band. Their new album is excellent. I hope great things are in store for Trixie Whitley and Black Dub. I look forward to seeing them much more in the future, Check them out!

I’m having trouble finding Trixie’s “The Engine” for purchase, but I know you can listen to portions of it on her website. Black Dub’s CD is available on their site and on iTunes.
