Trio – The Bob Gerics Trio (aka The Gerics Brothers Trio, aka Painted Blind) is an acoustic/electric trio performing the songs and instrumentals of Bob and Dan in an even more dynamic way. It's a bit of folk, folk/rock, and jazz - playing coffee houses, festivals and concerts (as well as pubs and private parties) – it’s all good.
