The Band Trinity Irish Band from Naples, FL

The Band Trinity is an Irish Band located in Naples, Florida. Founded in 2007, The Band Trinity has been playing local venues and events for the past 14 years. With a focus on both Irish and Contemporary music, The Band Trinity is inspired by a classic Irish sound and loves the opportunity to put an Irish twist on your favorite contemporary songs. The band members are Peter Michael Heaney, Paul Hartigan, and Rob Koch. Peter is the lead vocalist and is home grown IRISH, born and bred in Belfast. He comes from a musical family. His father, Frank, was a well-known fiddle player from Portadown, a town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Peter, a traditional singer, picked up his first guitar at 13 and, literally, has never put it down. A self taught musician, he plays guitar, mandolin, banjo, Irish bouzouki, Bodhran drum along with the spoons and bones, a wooden percussion instrument. Peter left Belfast in 1970 at the height of the TROUBLES and immigrated to Toronto, Canada where quickly he joined the vibrant music scene. Fast forward 23 years, he couldn't take the snow any longer and emigrated to Naples, Florida in 1993. Paul was born and raised in Ballinashoe, County Galway, Ireland. He was introduced to the accordion by a neighbor at the age of eight. Paul says, "She taught me to play ten notes at a time and had me repeat them over and over!" Soon he had an accordion of his own (a "melodeon"). When Paul left Ireland that accordion stayed behind. At twenty-one, he landed in New York City. Early in his working career, Paul purchased a “new Irish accordion; made in Italy”, he quips. He studied some music theory to enhance his skills and played "here and there" as he humbly states. Paul now calls Southwest Florida home and continues to play the music he loves. He has performed at various Irish venues and pub sessions. Paul is a prominent member of the authentic Irish music trio "The Band Trinity”. Rob was born in Washington, DC and spent his childhood years in Maryland and New York. Rob began Viola lessons at the age of 9 and picked up fiddle/violin and guitar during his studies at the University of Michigan Music School. In 1977 Rob began a 41 year music teaching career at schools in Michigan, Arizona and SW Florida. His elementary choirs often numbered 100 students who sang in school and out of school programs often singing material beyond their years. Whether on the fiddle, viola, guitar or voice, Rob has enjoyed playing an eclectic mix of musical genres including Celtic, Classic Rock, Jazz, Country and Classical styles of music. He has experienced a variety of performance settings including large concert halls, weddings, musical pit- orchestras, and churches. The Band Trinity is available to play for a variety of events including Bar Entertainment, Festivals, Weddings, House Parties, Wakes (funerals), Country Club Galas, Fund Raisers, etc.
