The Trouble Notes- The Banjolorian
The Banjolorian is the latest release from The Trouble Notes. A playful mix of traditional Folk instruments and Hiphop grooves, the track sits at the juxtaposition between rural Americana Folk, and Urban rhythms that have been a driver behind the group’s unique sound.
The vision for the song came together whilst traveling extensively in the American West during their Lose Your Ties tour in 2019.
In typical ”Trouble” fashion, they met some epic musicians from both the Hiphop and Folk scenes that shaped the vision for the song, dreaming to create something that would fuse the two genres together. The Banjolorian is playful and light hearted on the surface, but beneath the uplifting melodies is a deep appreciation for the tradition of the genres.
“Growing up in the Midwest of America, I was exposed to a wide range of musical influence. Yes, I studied classical music, but my music collection was highlighted by Americana, Rock and Hiphop records. It was these influences that led me to shape the repertoire of The Trouble Notes. The Banjolorian is a nod to those formative years of my life.”

The Trouble Notes bring their new tour “More Violins, Less Violence” to the UK this March
Sitting somewhere between world folk, modern classical, and tribal dance music, The Trouble Notes have traveled their way across the continents in search of different musical influences.
Float across oceans and time with the soulful melodies of Bennet’s violin, and Carola’s voice as your body pulses from the explosive energy via Florian’s guitar. Worldly percussion rhythms transport the audience across genres with an uplifting spirit, for which The Trouble Notes have become renowned around the world.
Their new show "More Violins, Less Violence" is packed with songs from their up coming studio album “Liberty Awaits”. Their repertoire fuses together the traditions of Europe and the Americas, whilst carrying a message of Unity in Diversity. Their legacy has not stopped growing as proven in songs such as “Grand Masquerade” and “Never Dream Alone”, which have amassed millions of views worldwide.
The group also believe that Art and Music must be a driving force for healing in this world, and want to do whatever they can to help. Therefore, for every ticket sold on the tour, and every “More Violins, Less Violence” t-shirt sold, they will be donating £1 towards a charitable cause helping children affected by violence.
