MANASSAS, Va. — The Dixie Power Trio is a four-piece group dedicated to the music and sounds of Louisiana. Based in Fredericksburg VA, the group has toured extensively throughout the United States in support of their seven independently produced recordings.
In a typical set the Dixie Power Trio will play a gumbo of different styles including zydeco, Cajun, New Orleans jazz, funk, street parade, and rock.
