Joe Cirotti Trio, a well-oiled string band from the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge, fuses their multi-instrumentalist upbringings with a passion for American roots music. Formed amidst jam sessions in 2015, the current line-up of Joe Cirotti: guitar, Pete Lister: upright bass, and Timmy Coyle: mandolin and guitar, continues to craft a sound steeped in tradition yet infused with modern twists.

Joe Cirotti Trio has become a fixture at premier area venues across the NWNJ area, and is currently booking through mid-2025 across a wider geographical area. Their debut release, “Joe Cirotti Trio”, launched on CD and Vinyl in December 2023, and streaming on all major platforms.

They find common musical ground in influences like Doc Watson, Tony Rice, and Garcia/Grisman, but also as diverse as Django Reinhardt, Pink Floyd, and Van Halen. Instrumental virtuosity is paired with smooth vocal harmonies to stir up a one-of-a-kind blend of Americana, bluegrass, alt-country, gypsy jazz, and acoustic pop.
