Summer Wraps up with The Homebound Tapes It's been a little while since I've updated this website. Life has definitely slowed down for many of us in this Year of the Pandemic. Still, a lot of people are still making music, albeit mostly from their homes and less in clubs, pubs, and bars. Here's a good place to announce "The Homebound Tapes". Just released. In fact, it still has the fresh-baked warmth. Conceived , written, and recorded during the Spring and Summer, it's an EP that speaks to our times. It's a little more introverted than the regular Trike Shop material...and hopefully it will speak to you . Get it and other Trike Shop albums HERE. Read Ian Canty's review from Louder Than War HERE.
