THE MUSIC of WILD MAPLE is full of rich emotional content.
Songs that speak to us about people's everyday lives, historical events and relationships.
You will hear this duo perform everything from a TRADITIONAL IRISH DANCE TUNE to
a CONTEMPORARY COVER or ORIGINAL COMPOSITION.
Judging from the response of their audiences TRISH & GARY have a found a blend that works...
"We started off [the December 3, 2011 Lexington Acoustic Showcase] with Wild Maple. This excellent duo features Gary Dolinsky on guitar and Trish DeCaprio on violin. Both sing, trading off lead vocals and joining for sensational harmonies. Gary's a flatpicking guitar whiz, and Trish is an expressive violinist, both flexible and incisive. The result is an appealing polished sound. Their set list included a number of excellent originals, with some pleasing covers as well. I liked their version of the Beatles' "I Will", with a contrapuntal byplay of guitar runs and pizzicato violin figures. Great fun. A minute later they had me tearing up with a plaintive ballad, then tappint goes along with a twangy number. Make no mistake, these folks are good. We'll try to get them back, I promise! -David Keevil http://acousticshowcaselexington.blogspot.com

"Hi Trish & Gary: We really enjoyed your music last night, and I’m glad you had a good audience (sometimes you never know about the size of the crowd at the Parish Hall). You probably had something to do with drawing as many people as we did. It was our best turnout since we’ve been running the coffeehouse since April of 2008. Roger added a great touch to your sound. I really like your version of “I will” with the interplay of the guitar, fiddle, and the bongos. And of course, the vocal arrangement sounded terrific, as well, after the verses kicked in. Keep up the good work and come back and visit us again! All the best, Bob"
