The band’s name, inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, is a nod to the many women singers who have inspired them. Singing in harmony is something these three highly accomplished musicians have been doing their whole lives. Ann, Mary & Annie bring their individual musicianship and talents together to form a dynamic trio. Peace and social justice are strong themes throughout their repertoire and mission, bringing people together through harmony and understanding.
