The Trouble brings a literate, lyrical edge to their roots-rock foundation, fusing Americana sensibility with a visceral blend of driving rhythms, snarling guitars, sharp melodic hooks, and intuitive country harmonies.

A collaboration between songwriters Marc Jeffares (formerly of Blue Yonder) and Chris Parreira (The Lonesome Roses), with bassist Jeff Krider (formerly of The Tao Jonesers) and drummer Sam Kaplan-Good (Blue Street Junction, The Small Axe), The Trouble is influenced by versitile artists such as Neil Young and Crazy Horse, The Band, Bob Dylan, XTC and Tom Waits.

Marc Jeffares - lead guitar, vocals, lyrics, keyboard
Chris Parreira - rhythm guitar, vocals, lyrics, harmonica
Jeff Krider - bass, vocals
Sam Kaplan-Good - drums, vocals
