Description

Austinite Rockin Lloyd Tripp doesn't play your father's music. He plays your grandfather's. No one loves rockabilly like an Englishman, and at 17 Tripp left the UK to come to rural America for an extended stay and a chance to soak up what was left of the 1950s sound. He was in San Francisco for the Americana Scare of the late 1980s (I was an asterisked footnote in that mess, but that’s another tale). Many Bay Area Americana revivalists can trace a collaboration with Tripp, from the Visitation Valley Boys to Biff O'Hara. Tripp's attack has the old fashioned snap, crackle, and wobble; what better way to spend Boxing Day than to watch Lloyd pummel his standup bass. - Richard von Busack sanjose.com
