Trinidadio is a band of Los Angeles based musicians who have brought together their various musical influences to form a new category of music, Tropical Rock. They combine rock and pop sensibilities with a variety of Caribbean styles such as reggae and soca. The addition of the steel drums to a traditional rock rhythm section gives Trinidadio its original sound. They have toured extensively worldwide; commercially and on USO type shows.
On their latest release, No Lifeguard On Duty, Trinidadio takes some of their favorite live show songs and refines their sound in the studio. The covers are rock & roll classics with the Trinidadio twist. The originals are all crowd pleasers and translate wonderfully on this CD.
On first listen, you can easily compare the Trinidaido vibe to Jimmy Buffett, but after more spins, the bands various influences are more obvious. You will certainly hear their positive, upbeat attitudes and personalities come across on this CD. No Lifeguard On Duty says it alllive life without a safety net. Jump in and enjoy!
