Sister Trish Bio:

Sister Trish was formed in 2001 Tony Greenway decided to come out after a four year absence from music to re-emerge with a completely revamped energy and dedication to bringing you the in your face style of music that has been portrayed as an “original sound”.

Anything else...?
Sister Trish is a firm believer that music is entertainment. Some bands feel that music is a hobby; we see this band as our job…our way of life so to say.







At this time Sister Trish has two (2) full length CD’s available as well as a live DVD from the performance in each year of the ECS to date. The band is currently writing and recording new material after the exciting response from their new single “Reason” There is also an online merch store with several items available for our fan base as well as a digital mp3 store for all of the music in albums or singles, ring tones and even apparel.

After going through several line-up changes, seven years later the band is as follows:

Roger Carter

After several years of playing solo Roger has landed the front man position for Sister Trish. Hired after his first audition Roger brings a vocal depth to the band that has been longed for by many musicians. With his unique lyrics and writing skills Roger has led Sister Trish to a new level.

Tony Greenway

Being in bands all his life including, Cry Wolf, Circle of Silence, and even jamming with Jackyll. Tony is the only original member of Sister Trish left. His heavy riffs and lightning fast leads are a tribute to his idols and heroes such as Dimebag Darrell, Angus Young, and Steve Vai as well as many others. Tony’s sound comes from Ibanez Pro Series guitars, a Gibson Les Paul Custom and a Gibson Les Paul Standard which is run through a Digitech GNX 3 guitar processor run through a Peavy 5150 combo with a 4x12 cabinet.







Clint Bridges

Clint landed the drummer position about four years ago after issues with the third drummer and completed the rock hard foundation: the nuclei per say of Sister Trish. With his thunderous foot and quick hands Clint has grown to be one of the best drummers in the area in a very short amount of time.

Clayton Schoenholz

Clay joined the band early in the start of the original projects and has continually showed that the bass position belongs to no one else. With his old school funk and blues Clay mixes the days of yesterday with the days of the future and completes the package with mind blowing runs and fills. Clay plays a Washburn Force Ten 5 string bass and a Peavey Cyrus bass through a 1000 watt Ampeg B-4 with a 4x10 and a 1x15 bass cabinet.




Neil “Col. Droop” Weeks


Neil was brought on board as the sound tech for Sister Trish in September of 2004 and now the manager and booking agent for the band and web master of all Sister Trish websites. Neil fine tunes the bands awesome sound through a Peavey SRC 1600 16 channel mixing board. Power amps include a Peavey 900 amp cs-460 and a Yamaha P2100 equalized by a Peavey EQ 31, 34 channel 1/3 octave equalizer. Sound comes through 2 15 inch Sound Bridge and 6 15 inch bottom turn outs with 4 horns.

31/08/2007: SISTER TRISH
22:37:59 - Billy - Bands/Artists
I like this band over many other hard rock bands that I hear for the simple reason that their music has depth. There are several layers of heart pumping sound ringing through my ears, but its not just one big mess that I hear from some hard rock bands. Part of this is because of the high recording quality, and part is because they are excellent musicians.

The recording quality is awesome, especially on the track that I've been listening to called, "Reason". I like recordings that keep my ears and brain interested throughout the entire recording. I never once wondered off to something else while listening to this song. Which I am tempted to do with some songs because they may be boring or because my A.D.D. kicks in. The mix, panning from left to right for different parts, the background vocals, the talking at the beginning... all these things come together to create one rather interesting masterpiece.

It's not just the producer/recording though. Even if the recording quality wasn't all that, this band would still have a great sound. Instead of just thrashing throughout the entire song, with no finesse, and with just one loud roar, they break it up. They mix the soft with the hard sounds very well and they don't just play the same three drop D chords over and over. The guitarist and bass player actually play notes, and a lot of them! In fact, I was really drawn to the bass player in one part. Which is odd to me. Why? Maybe this is just my bias, but I find that a lot of times, when I'm listening to hard rock, the bass player will just following along with the guitarist the entire time, and nothing exciting really happens. Sister Trish's bass player, well, actually plays very good sounding bass lines. Lets not forget about the drummer. The drummer actually sounds like a percussionist and not just someone banging on the drums as hard as they can. Although, it's fine to hit the drums hard, but, it just sounds like he knows what he's doing, that’s all. What I'm trying to say is, this is a very talented drummer.

Sister Trish is more than just another hardcore rock band. They are musicians. Artists. Hear for yourself below...

sister trish review-SET IN STONE PRODUCTIONS

Basic Summary- Very 80's which I personally have a ton of respect for- The major problem is The recording quality- (I know guys who could do WAY BETTER) it takes away from the originality- And a little too much distortion on the vocals- Every band, signed or unsigned stands room for improvement- Work on the vocals and recording- I hope I have not offended you in any manner, I'm just blunt about the business I'm in. Hope to get some feed back soon! Break Down On Each Track. Circle of Silence- Honestly puts me in mind of 80's groove metal, which isn't a bad thing- vocals are a bit over shadowed- Nice use drums. Lyrics are KISS'ish- Nice guitar solo. Recording quality could be better, kind of distorted. Tearing Down The Walls- Nice Intro- Again Hair Metalish' (which I personally admire, lol ) Poison-ish'- Vocals are better on this one- I'm really feeling the lyrics. Decent break into the chorus- Are you using the 1, 2, 3 count on symbols? Decent song- I- New Metallica-ish intro- Deeper side of the vocal arrangement- Darker song- Good vocal switch off. Nice Guitar. A little too much distortion on the vocals in the middle of the song. Can hardly hear the instrumental parts- Freaky Teaky- Low quality recording- can barely make out the vocals once again. The instrumentals overshadow the vocals too much on this one. Bass does sound good though. Jenni President/CEO Set IN Stone Promotions

Sister Trish review--the local review

If you were into Alternative in the 90's, this band is for you. They take a familiar sound like Pearl Jam, or Alice and Chains, and throw in some Dimebag style riffs. The clean voice this band shove at you is DEFINATELY radio worthy. If alternative bands make a comeback, then look for this band to be ahead of the game, and since music goes in cycles.................... The only downside to this band is its going to be hard to find a steady group of bands to gig with. Most of the bands in this area are influenced by New Metal, or Hardcore. Final thing is, this isn’t really my style of music, but I have respect for Sister Trish. They are a tight band and have obviously worked hard, that is easy to see after listening to the song "Tearing down the wall". You should check this band out, because if this is your style of music, you will LOVE these guys, because they are IT. Go to www.myspace.com/sistertrishband and see for yourself thanks
