The Zen Tricksters Acoustic Trio is currently in the studio working on a new CD tentatively titled Dean Street (no relation to Budnick). It features mostly original material with a few covers, which have not yet been specified. Former Trickster Rob Barraco (Phil & Friends, The Other Ones) makes a guest appearance on the album. The Trio consists of guitarists Jeff Mattson and Tom Circosta as well as bassist Klyph Black. The disc is due out later this month.
The Zen Tricksters play Saturday at the second annual Electric Kool-Aid Music Festival in Lubbock, TX. For more information, visit www.zentricksters.com.
