Background:

Trouble in the Wind began in 2006 as a high school country rock trio called Cactus Bob.

In 2009, they became Trouble in the Wind, currently featuring Robby Gira (vocals, acoustic guitar), Larry Doran (drums), Trevor Mulvey (upright bass), and Kyle Merritt (guitar, banjo, accordion). Having appeared frequently at the E Street Café in Encinitas, they released Gone and Done It in 2009 and No Work Dancing in 2010.

In summer 2012, they won Best Musical Talent in the Musicpalooza talent contest, an annual competition at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, taking home a $5,000 cash prize and an electric guitar donated by Taylor Guitars.
