     Transplanted from New York to the Bay Area, the chamber jazz
     group Tin Hat Trio consists of accordionist Rob Burger,
     guitarist Mark Orton, and violinist Carla Kihlstedt. The
     group's unique blend of structure, improvisation, and
     contemporary classical, folk, world, and jazz elements reflects
     each member's other performing experiences. Kihlstedt majored
     in classical violin performance at the Oberlin Conservatory and
     went on to become a prominent performer in both classical and
     improvised music, playing with artists like John Zorn and
     Roscoe Mitchell, and recording with Eugene Chadbourne, the
     Grassy Knoll, and Tom Waits. She also appeared on Phillip
     Glass' series Music at the Anthology, sings and plays with
     another Bay Area band (Charming Hostess), collaborates with
     choreographer Jo Kreiter, and is a graphic designer/illustrator
     as well.
     Orton started playing guitar as a child and eventually studied
     composition at the Peabody Conservatory and the Hart School of
     Music. Also a professional recording and sound engineer, Orton
     worked on sessions with Bill Frisell, John Zorn, and the Lounge
     Lizards, and engineered the sound at the Knitting Factory for
     two years. Orton plays banjo, lute, dobro, lap steel, and
     electric guitar with his other group, San Francisco's Old Joe
     Clarks, and has composed scores for independent films like
     Beverly Wachtel's Just Noticeable Difference.

     Burger studied classical piano at Juilliard and explored
     different improvisational styles at the University of
     Massachusetts with Max Roach, Archie Stepp, and Yusef Lateef.
     He broadened his range to include Hammond organ and vintage
     keyboards like the Optigan and Chamberlin, toy pianos and
     keyboards, and the accordion. Burger has toured with Bill
     Frisell, Don Byron, and Joey Baron, and appeared on Frisell's
     Tales From the Far Side soundtrack. Since moving to the Bay
     Area, Burger has worked with artists as diverse as Tipsy and
     Mix Master Mike; he is also a member of the Oranj Symphonette,
     as well as his bandmate Orton's other project, Old Joe Clarks.
     As the Tin Hat Trio, they released their debut album Memory Is
     an Elephant on Angel Records in early 1999; Helium followed in
     Spring 2000, boasting appearances from Tom Waits and an
     uncredited Mike Patton. Two years later, the ambitious The
     Rodeo Eroded showcased their own unique music as well as guest
     appearances from Phish drummer John Fishman and Willie Nelson.
