Listening to the SILVER THREAD TRIO is “like being seduced in church,” according to KXCI DJ Laurie Starr. Their rich, intricate harmonies have been described as “angelic” and “intoxicating.”
This unique trio takes traditional folk songs and creates their own three-part vocal arrangements, bringing an updated version of old-school Americana to the Tucson music scene. Genres range from dusty folk, to bluegrass and Appalachian numbers, to spirituals, to standards like “Moon River,” with the occasional polka thrown in for good measure.
The sound of their original and traditional material has been compared to Gillian Welsh, The Carter Family, and “syrup on your pancakes.” SILVER THREAD TRIO released its first album in December of 2008, featuring a 15-song culmination of the past two years of writing and arranging.
