• TOUR DATES •

The Coffin/Perlson/Krauss Trio came together in 2020 when Jeff, Jordan, and Viktor would assemble every couple weeks in Coffin’s home studio to make music together. They have recorded (audio and video) a mind-blowing project that is slated for a fall 2023 release on Ear Up Records. The musicianship of these three artists is not to be denied and they are each deeply woven into the musical history of the 20th and 21st centuries.

JORDAN PERLSON:
Drummer Jordan Perlson is one of the most dynamic and catalytic musicians you will hear. Transplanted from NYC to Nashville, Tennessee in 2016, Jordan remains an integral part of a wide international music scene. From cutting edge music innovators like Becca Stevens, Snarky Puppy, Banda Magda, to progressive musicians Adrian Belew, Echolyn, Kaki King, fusion megastar Hiromi, jazz legends Seamus Blake, Gary Burton, David Liebman, folk heroes Alison Brown, Missy Raines, reggae giants Matisyahu, or Trevor Hall, Jordan has become a well known and sought after force in these many musical circles.
