Kyle, concert organizer, describing TRIPPP
TRIPPP is a trio of 22-year-old triplet brothers – Treyson, JD, and Chaz Stafford – from Jonesboro, Arkansas. Their unique country sound includes a touch of Memphis blues, Kentucky bluegrass, and Southern rock combined with killer family harmony. They are now based in Nashville where JD (lead vocals/drums) and Chaz (guitar) are full-time musicians and Treyson (bass) is majoring in Biblical Studies at Belmont University. The trio made their Grand Ole Opry debut in December 2022 as special guests of Josh Turner after being selected from a field of 75 other young Nashville artists/bands for that opportunity. Their awards include being named the 2021 Arkansas Country Music Awards “Young Artists of the Year,” winning the 2023 Belmont Songwriter's Showcase, and being voted "Best Local Band" in Northeast Arkansas six times. They've played more than 200 shows throughout the Southeast, have raised more than $15,000 for Make-A-Wish and other charities, and have been an opening act for artists such as Riley Green, The Kentucky Headhunters, and Matt Stell. Their 2020 debut EP and subsequent singles have all been produced by fellow Arkansan Jon Conley, lead guitar player for Kenny Chesney. Their original music is available on all streaming services.
