True Life Trio’s music is all about harmony. The fiery voices of these three women spin and interweave, traveling from Ukrainian village tunes, to Greek polyphony to Louisiana two-steps. Bulgaria to the Bayou. On paper, it’s an unlikely combination but in person, it feels just right.
True Life Trio’s singing exudes untamed joy. They met in Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble and soon found their affinity extended beyond Balkan music to the far reaches of Europe and America. Their music is an elixir of ancient traditional songs made new, tasty choral arrangements and inspired original compositions. They have been enchanting audiences in their San Francisco Bay Area home and all across the West for more than a decade with their finely-honed, heart-centered, “concert hall meets front porch” performances.
Their new release “At My Window” is a harmony-driven potpourri of uniquely arranged folk songs, ballads and dance tunes. Brimming with gutsy and colorful vocals, the album is a swirling journey through the lush musical landscapes of Ukraine, Ireland, Bulgaria, Italy, Albania, Sweden, Norway, Greece and America.
