BTJ Trio
Bill Ellison, Temperance Babcock and Jeff Perkins build their distinctive sound on the classic combination of fiddle, bass and acoustic guitar. Their vocal harmonies and instrumental arrangements cover the musical spectrum from Bill Monroe to the Everly Brothers to Old Crow Medicine Show.
Ellison has been a mainstay in Mississippi’s acoustic music scene both as a performer and as host of Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s “Grassroots”. Babcock, a classically trained violinist and former member of the Mississippi Symphony, has studied under Felicia Moye and has recorded with members of Ricky Skaggs’s band Kentucky Thunder. Bill and Temperance are joined by well-known bassist and vocalist Jeff Perkins.
The BTJ Trio has been much in demand performing for the Jackson Advertising Federation, the National Governors Conference at the Hard Rock Casino on the MS Gulf Coast, the Neshoba County Fair, and featured at MSO’s own Pepsi Pops.
