A MUSICAL NOTE:  When installing wedding flowers at the artfully rustic Mill City Museum recently, we were stopped in our tracks by the amazing band beginning to warm up.  And so began our love affair with treVeld, a group of string musicians whose musical repertoire includes Gypsy, Swing, Celtic, Blues and Nordic Roots.  Their music is lush, playful, soulful and unforgettable.  They are the band version of the beautiful food scene in the movie “Chocolat” in which Vianne serves a sumptuous feast to celebrate Armande’s birthday – exquisite foods laced with chocolate, an elegantly earthy outdoor setting with charmingly eclectic guests blissed out by the whole experience.  That is treVeld.  They have that rare quality of truly appealing to all ages.

Cheers,

The name treVeld is born of the music, representing the merging of three fields, filled with the lush and sacred openness of creative potential.

The musically diverse members of treVeld met around the turn of the century, playing amongst an ‘Old Time’ music community. They share the desire to create and perform original music, while enjoying an ever evolving musical and personal kinship.

treVeld offers a unique and spirited blend of musical genres, including Gypsy, Swing, Old Time, Celtic, Bluegrass, Blues, Chamber and Nordic Roots.

treVeld's original compositions manifest through the trio’s depths and musical fluency, creating beautiful soulful soundscapes, resulting in a buoyant body of works, eclectic in their musical sources and traditions, flowing gracefully into a cohesive sound that has been referred to as 'treVeldian'.

"If music makes you feel, it heals you.

There's more than just notes here. There is something holy about the melody played this way.

The song here is an absolute gift. Takes a touch of genius..."

From a review of Bohemian Flats - Billy Sheppard, Music Journalist

“Thanks so much for sending your Bohemian Flats disc to me. I love it! The best part is that I've seen you at Erte before and remember asking the staff who you guys were because I thought the music was so great...and good for The Morning Show too. I'll most definitely use it on the air, good music deserves to be heard!.”

“Be sure to check out this wonderfully diverse and very talented Twin Cities based ensemble for some lovely and very evocative works”.

Kevin Barnes (on air commentary), Host of String Theory on Jazz 88 FM

"treVeld has successfully performed a progressive convergence of Old Time and formal Classical music with traditional Bluegrass on their latest recording Bohemian Flats."

Phil Nusbaum (on air commentary), Host of Blue Grass Saturday Morning on Jazz 88 FM

“I have gone to hundreds of concerts over the years and your performance is among the select few that will make my “all time best, most memorable” performances list, your music is beautiful... it really moved me... it was so calming. I am looking forward to hearing treVeld again.”

Diane

“Your music quiets the mind and soothes the soul.”

Barbara Cloutier, M.A.- Licensed Psychologist

“The three of you are nothing short of absolutely amazing. I have had some conversations in the past about equating music with food, and how some music is fluff and no substance, or dessert, or canned meat, etc. treVeld is a 27 course meal with all the trimmings, very tasty rare wine with amazing appetizers, every one of my favorite dishes, many incredibly delicious morsels I have never tasted that are somehow exotic and familiar at the same time.

What an amazing combination of sound and song you create, that is so universally pleasing and also so deep, playful, thoughtful and full of feeling. A truly rare combination.”
