3-ish “Events”

Events is the follow up album to our first 3-ish’s release, Baobab (2009). Events features new original compositions by all three band members and a few re-inventions of some familiar standards.

The group recorded nearly 20 tunes over 2 days in the studio and we narrowed down the takes to our 12 favorites.  You can click on the photo below to purchase or preview the CD.
