Cartoon Christmas Trio

Since its inception in 1995, The Cartoon Christmas Trio has been the premier interpreter of the classic soundtracks of holiday cartoon music, especially the music of “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Established solely for the purpose of capturing the nuances of the holiday music of Vince Guaraldi and his contemporaries, the trio maintains a vigorous holiday performance schedule. They have performed at The Kimmel Center, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Milton Theater, The Queen Theater, World Café Live!, Winterthur Museum, Reading Museum and have also been heard on NPR, ABC, FOX, and NBC. 2025 marks the trio’s 30th Anniversary Season.

The trio is comprised of Larry Marshall on drums, Jeff Knoettner on piano, and Rob Swanson on Double Bass. The members have over 100 combined years of performing and educational experience that they bring to every event, whether it be a concert or an enlightened workshop for children. The trio looks forward to sharing this awesome music with you and yours!
