The Tanglewood Trio
This trio features KARLA MUNDY with NOA NEUMAN SPIVAK and EMILY VILLAVICENCIO. They got their start in bluegrass and roots, performing a mix of original songs by Karla and covers from jazz to French Canadian music. The three women's voices blend together seamlessly to create breathtaking harmonies and playful interlocking rhythms. Each singer also takes a turn to serve up a song of sweet sadness or sage advice.
