The Dixie Power Trio (The Kennedy Center)

The Dixie Power Trio

Formed in 1992, the Dixie Power Trio, a "dixieland trio with four members," has developed a reputation as the East Coast's  premier "Louisiana variety band," capable of playing authentic sounding New Orleans jazz, zydeco, Cajun, street parade, and Louisiana-style funk.  The four-piece trio (we blame Cajun math) has carved out a niche as a fun and exciting ensemble capable of entertaining audiences of all ages. The group has shared concert stages with many Louisiana luminaries, including the Neville Brothers, Terrance Simien, Dr. John, Wynton Marsalis, Chubby Carrier, Beausoleil, the Dirty Dozen, the Olympia Brass Band, Cowboy Mouth, Galactic, and John Cleary.The foundation of the Dixie Power Trio is bassist Andy Kochenour.
