Three singers, with different voices, but when we sing together harmony ensues. Barbara Smith leans into Jazz, blues, and folk. Carolyn Broquet always sang the harmony until someone suggested she lower the key. Tirza Manly grew up with a mad love for Bluegrass and the Andrews Sisters.

We all love to swing a tune and we all love the magic of close harmonies. Sometimes is auto-harmony, find a tune and go above and below. Sometimes it’s the Andrews Sisters note for note, but it’s always magic.

Sami Scott is our musical director and Steve Thomas plays trumpet with Bill Demis on Guitar.
