"...Some of the most unusual music I've ever heard: polyglot internationalist banjo player Joe Troop and his latest group Whirlwind, a lineup featuring flute, viola, jazz-adjacent rhythm section and electric banjo that often sounded a lot more like a guitar." - DAVID MENCONI (author)

Joe Troop is a GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter hailing from the North Carolina Piedmont. He is one half of the acclaimed panamerican folk duo Larry & Joe, and founder of Latingrass stringband Che Apalache. His music is deeply inspired by a decade living in Buenos Aires and traveling throughout Latin America and the world.

Now clad with his long-awaited custom electric jazz banjo, he's curated an unexpected ensemble featuring flute (Rebecca Kleinmann), viola (Bailey Newman), drums (Gaston Reggio) and bass (Ramon Garcia) to bring to life a new concept album called “Whirlwind.”

Drawing from a kaleidoscope of influences - Latin jazz to R&B, candombe to bluegrass, classical music to samba, rock and roll - this group will surely keep you on the edge of your seat.
