Well... other stuff, too - but we can still sing while doing that other stuff, right? BIOGRAPHY: Trio Kavkasia was formed in 1994 in the cold of Toronto's January. It snowed every day of our first gathering, which proved to be just what we needed. We sang, sang, sang - and discovered that we liked singing together. Over the years, we've immersed ourselves in Georgian folk singing & culture, traveling to Georgia & living there as a trio for two long stays. Carl ended up staying in Georgia for a longer period, totaling about 10 years before he returned to the US in 2003. Kavkasia has recorded 3 CDs, and continues to explore the mysteries of Georgian tuning. We perform whenever we can - but living in three different places makes it difficult. Our official debut performance was at Lincoln Center's Walter Reed Theater
