The Joe Cirotti Trio is a well-oiled string band from Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge. Joe Cirotti, Mike Alexander, and Pete Lister formed the trio in 2015. The Trio's multi-instrumental upbringings fused with a passion for the roots of American folk, country, and bluegrass music. The trio’s bond is strengthened by a blue-collar ethic for picking, and buoyed by their shared fondness for cigarettes and whiskey.
