The Andreas Kapsalis Trio represents the perfect alliance of eight-fingered guitar virtuosity, outstanding melodic themes, and rhythmic variation
on percussion. Backed by drummer Jamie Gallagher and multi-instrumentalist Darren Garvey, the Andreas Kapsalsis Trio’s second album Original
Scores is now available.

Original Scores is the Andreas Kapsalis Trio’s follow up to 2004’s self-titled debut. The years between have found the trio touring the country and
composing music for film. Andreas was awarded a Fellowship Grant to attend the Sundance Film Composers Lab in 2005 and chosen to compose
the film score for the documentary Black Gold which premiered at Sundance in 2006. Other films include Mulberry Street, Mexican Sunrise, and
Retaliation.

The film connection has had an obvious influence on the writing of Original Scores. The music morphs from resembling your favorite movie
soundtrack to a freak circus to full out thrash to subtle ballads. Elements of Americana, flamenco, Greek, African, and Arabic music are part of the
mix, each receiving equal time. The musicianship and instrumentation make this a must-see live performance. Now in its sixth year, the Andreas
Kapsalis Trio has become a force in Chicago’s underground music scene.
