Dave Matthews guitarist Tim Reynolds is back on the road with his group, TR3, featuring Reynolds, bassist Mick Vaughn and drummer Dan Martier.

The electric power trio, led by two-time Grammy nominee Reynolds, brings its fall tour to Seattle for a show Nov. 7 at the Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave. N.W. Tickets are $8. Get the details here.

TR3 has released a new album, “Like Some Kind of Alien Invasion,” Oct. 7 on ATO Records. It features 14 new, original songs by Reynolds that demonstrate his lightning licks. Songs range from funky and soulful love song “The Glow” to the Southern rock-influenced “In the Zone.”

“It’s more sonically expansive and has more harmonic content than our previous works,” Reynolds says of the album. “We used more acoustic guitars and varieties of guitar tones and really focused on making this a chord-rich effort.”

Reynolds, Vaughn, and Martier have been playing together since 2007.

“Mick and Dan are awesome on every song. Mick’s is great on everything, and Dan basically plays stuff that humans cannot play.”
