The Tale of Trouble

The Trouble Notes are a progressive folk rock trio whose music bridges the gap between ancient folklore and the expansive frontiers of a new world. Known for their cinematic, narrative-driven performances, the group—Bennet Cerven (Violin, USA), Florian Eisenschmidt (Guitar, Germany), and George Bingham (Drums, UK)—has carved out a distinctive identity through technical virtuosity that remains deeply human.


Their sound is a visceral journey: blending the intricate motifs of traditional folk and classical precision with driving, rhythmic grooves and a full-blooded rock energy. Since 2013, they have performed in over 35 countries, sharing world stages with legendary acts including Jethro Tull, Rodrigo y Gabriela, America, and Versengold, proving a rare ability to unite strangers into a single, rhythmic community.

More Violins Less Violence

We believe music can cross borders, open hearts, and create connection where division has taken root. More Violins, Less Violence is our commitment to using the stage for something greater, supporting War Child and their work with children whose lives have been affected by war.

Every song, concert, and shared story becomes part of a simple hope: a world with more music, more understanding, and far less violence.
