About the artists: Tao from the Mountain is the latest release from Trifolkal (Laura Pole, Greg Trafidlo & Neal Phillips) - "a trio of 'farsighted' folkie songwriters fiercely dedicated to fun." Laura, Greg & Neal have been delighting audiences for over 10 years with their warmth, tight harmonies, and witty songwriting. Their music is an eclectic blend of original and traditional favorites, along with tunes by some of today's best songwriters. Their award-winning songs have been featured on national radio programs including NPR's Car Talk, The Midnight Special, and The Folk Sampler. They have shared the stage with artists such as John McCutcheon, Robin & Linda Williams, Kathy Mattea, Cheryl Wheeler, Emmylou Harris, John Hartford, Mark O'Connor, Trapezoid, John Hammond, John Prine, and Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen. Tao from the Mountain features traditional, Americana, and humorous original songs inspired by "O Brother," with just a pinch of Eastern philosophy for good measure.
