Born out of street jams in Rittenhouse Square in 2005, Trinidelphia, Philadelphia’s preeminent Caribbean music ensemble, came to life. The name itself summarizes the mission of the band: to bring a unique Philadelphia twist to the steel drum music of Trinidad. Bandleader Chris Aschman (steelpan) is joined by Shawn Hennessey (vocals, guitar, percussion) to create a front line that can get any audience moving and grooving to the music. Ian Rafalak (bass) and Joe Truglio (drumset) form the rhythm section, which can handle a range of rhythmic styles, such as soca, calypso, reggae, Afro-Cuban, ska, samba, funk, and jazz. Trinidelphia has performed at a wide variety of functions, from school assemblies and parades to concerts and casino performances. Members of Trinidelphia have toured the world with many national artists in a wide variety of genres, including Chaka Kahn, Dionne Warwick, Stanley Clarke, Tina Marie, and Bill Withers.

Jazz Bridge, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to assisting Greater Philadelphia Metro area jazz and blues musicians and vocalists in times of crisis, sponsors these neighborhood concerts throughout the region to keep the sound of Philadelphia alive.
