The Lonesome Trio is an American bluegrass jazz band formed out of Ohio’s Oberlin College. The group consists of actor and comedian Ed Helms, born on January 24th, 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia, Ian Riggs, and Jacob Tilove. Ed played the guitar, Riggs was on bass, and Jacob played the mandolin; the trio all provided vocals for the band. The trio then moved to New York City to pursue separate interests but continued to perform at regular jazz venues such as Parkside Lounge and Rockwood Music Hall. The Lonesome Trio also appeared at major festivals including the Newport Folk Festival and Bonnaroo Music Festival. In 2015 the group released their debut album called The Lonesome Trio on the label Sugar Hill Records.
