Nashville-based Poly is a trio of oft-sidemen, consisting of members Dan Sommers, Eleonore Denig, and Larissa Maestro, who began writing together in late fall of 2011. Very quickly, they established the following confines for their repertoire: the arrangements must be played by just the three of them on acoustic instruments only. No guitar allowed.
Somehow, they are making do with the very limited selection of three-part vocal harmonies, violin, cello, melodica, banduria, trumpet, trombone, mandocello, suitcase kick drum, kazoos, upright bass, toy piano, ukulele, glockenspiel, xylophone, bird calls, tiny bongos, sandpaper, stomp box, triangle, ratchet, hi hat, foot tambourine, and a host of other underestimated or little-known instruments.
In August of 2012, Poly released their first record to rave reviews- a pink vinyl 7” titled Three Songs by Poly. They are currently writing and recording for a full-length LP.
