"Electrifying, thought provoking, laugh out loud funny, melodic, and totally engaging" The Trio delivers spoken word and story-telling with a country-urban-funky-hip-hop-bluesy-folksy flair sure to entertain and delight any audience.

This dynamic collaboration - Timothy Mason, Jena Kirkpatrick and Regie O'Hare Gibson are educators and performers from diverse backgrounds who have come together for a poetry tour-de-force that has been featured at Second Street Live! in Fort Smith Arkansas opening concerts for Chris Smither and Leon Russell as well as headlining their own shows. They have also featured at The Old Songs Festival, The Austin International Poetry Festival and present workshops for schools, Boys and Girls Clubs and Colleges.  

They have recently released a self titled debut CD featuring musicians Matt Steinberg and Alison Keslow



Together they come alive.....
“Poetry came alive through the animated performance of Regie O'Hare Gibson, Timothy Mason and Jena Kirkpatrick. The spoken word of poetry from the three moved the audience at times making them laugh and other times making them say “hum.” The poets made the words dance off the pages from which they had been written whether they were reciting it or singing the stanzas. They were exciting to watch as their words came to life through body movements or through the emotion they showed.”
"Writing poetry and songs is a great addition to any festival. The Trio of Poets brings diversity and language into play for inspiration and communication of thought."
"This past Saturday we were among the very fortunate to hear Regie, Jena and Timothy perform. All we could give back to them at the end was a standing ovation. Whether you never 'got' poetry or you'd never leave home without a poem in your back pocket, hear this group. These poets will take you to the stars, keep your feet tapping and burst your heart and mind wide open with unforgettable imagery".
