Soulful, original & awesome!

Hosting the Compass Trio & watching them perform over the oast couple of years has been one of the most memorable musical experiences for us and our friends.

Their original compositions — blending sitar, tabla, and flamenco guitar — create a sound that is both meditative and electrifying. It’s not just music you hear, it’s something you feel.

They bring incredible artistry, but also warmth and humility that makes the experience deeply personal.

If you value authentic, original music and intimate performances, they are truly special.

Perfect Wedding Music

James, Tripp, and Galen were the musicians for my wedding this past September, and they were amazing! We couldn’t have asked for better musicians than Compass Trio. They were incredibly responsive and flexible throughout the planning process, and happily learned and performed custom songs that were really meaningful to us. They matched the energy of each moment perfectly, truly tying the entire event together and creating exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. We received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful the music was and how much it enhanced the entire celebration. Can't recommend them enough!

Amazing & unique band!

Saw them play live in Brooklyn. It was enchanting. They immediately set a calm and stimulating vibe, full of colors and imagination. The bring a huge and wide sound with just three players. The tunes take their time and explore more “floaty” moments with rhythmic groovy riffs and solos. Everything they play is in good taste and heartfelt. Definately recommended for any festival or small event, outdoors or indoors!

About

Compass is a trio that brings an original compositional voice to the three musicians’ collective experience and expertise - Indian raga and tala, the art of flamenco, jazz harmony, and deep groove. The rhythmic form of North Indian music known as theka is a uniquely sophisticated container for exploring time and polyrhythm. Separated by hundreds of years and countless migrations of the Gitano diaspora throughout present day Middle East and Europe we find the same concepts in new forms through the Spanish compás. This musical connection through history and culture is referenced in the name Compass; both a tool to find one’s way home as well as that which structures time in music, another form of finding “home”. Compass Trio is comprised of guitar and effects (James Labrosse), tabla (Tripp Dudley), and sitar (Galen Passen) and integrates these deeper connections of tradition and music into its interweaving forms, reflections and improvisations. Each piece is a truly original creation, borne out of our own individual creative expressions while being deeply rooted in the extensive traditions that we have studied.
