Trippers & Askers
In their own words: “Trippers & Askers is a mobile collective of music makers. I write the songs, and then find folks to play them with. New York, New Orleans, North Carolina, California, Tennessee, Rome, Arizona, wherever I find myself, I look for new recruits. I was born and raised in West Tennessee - near Memphis - and have been moving around since 2002. In addition to playing lots of music, I’m also a university minted “musical anthropologist”, which basically means I really like playing and hanging out with musicians with cultural backgrounds that differ from my own. “Trippers & Askers” is a Whitman reference. I remember memorizing the stanza in “Song of Myself” where the phrase comes up in the shower in Brooklyn sometime in 2008 or so. That’s been the band name since. ” - Jay Hammond
