Trio Del Rio challenges classification, combining swingin’, jazzy, bluesy, rock, latin, R&B, folk and Texas styles. The group's essence is captured  with MariLisa's

grace and freedom and Tanner Swain’s smooth vocals and tasty guitar work.  Their songs textured with rich vocal landscapes with a wide variety of unforgettable storytelling songs that  the listener can relate to. Within the group everyone sings lead on a third of the songs and with big harmonies and tight unisons; it balances an eclectic mix of songs and emotions. 

Tanner Swain is a University of North Texas Graduate who his mother says was “making up songs in his crib.”  Singing and performing in numerous choirs, ensembles at UNT, and around Austin, his immense knowledge of music is second nature.   His songs pull the listener in from off the street.

MariLisa was taking vocal coaching from MaryAnn Price when late great Texas Music specialist/Producer Tary Owens decided to produce MariLisa’s 2002 CD “Take a Chance” (Favela Records). MariLisa and Tanner met during a songwriter circle in Austin in 1998. They have been making/performing beautiful music ever since. But Tanner and Marilisa had to search Austin for the best players with an ear for different styles.  The songs seem to open wide with harmonies lush arrangements and musical chances.

Trio Del Rio’s essence is a jazzy cocktail made with MariLisa’s soulful Texas Spirit and the genre-bending songwriter/lead guitarist Tanner Swain’s with his clarity of voice and unique songs.

Trio Del Rio voted in the Top Ten category "None of the Above"

Austin Music Awards 2010 & 2011

“...Vocally golden... Trio Del Rio's has a sterling collection of engagingly percussive songs from the team of Tanner Swain and MariLisa. Their velvety neo-swing makes you long for cooler climbs while scanning the back 40 (Ever Since I Met'cha, What's to Say), refreshing and relaxing, just when life demands a chill pill."
