Description
The groundbreaking, category-shattering trio Time for Three (Tf3) transcends traditional classification, with elements of classical, country western, gypsy and jazz idioms forming a blend all its own. The members ? Zachary (Zach) DePue, violin; Nicolas (Nick) Kendall, violin; and Ranaan Meyer, double bass ? carry a passion for improvisation, composing and arranging, all prime elements of the ensemble?s playing. With a mix of virtuosity and showmanship, the group has performed hundreds of engagements as diverse as its music. Recent highlights included their Carnegie Hall debut, appearances with the Boston Pops, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and an appearance on the ABC prime time hit show Dancing with the Stars. Tf3?s high-energy performances are free of conventional practices, drawing instead from the members? differing musical backgrounds. The trio performs its own arrangements of traditional repertoire as well as playing originals and their own arrangements of everything from bluegrass and folk tunes to ingenious mash-ups of hits by the Beatles, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and more. A self-described ?classically trained garage band,? Time for Three is back for a return engagement, having wowed a Kitchen Sink Series audience previously in 2013.
