This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy top-notch harmonies. Here's a quote from their website, linked above:
"Kallet, Epstein and Cicone

Cindy Kallet, Ellen Epstein and Michael Cicone have had the pleasure of performing together in concerts, coffeehouses, and festivals throughout New England since 1981. Their close harmonies have inspired enthusiastic responses from audiences and critics alike. The trio sings both a cappella and accompanied by guitar and hammered dulcimer, drawing material from contemporary and traditional music of the British Isles and North America, with a liberal sprinkling of sea music and occasional forays into other cultures as well. The threesome released their third recording, Heartwalk, in 2008. They are currently celebrating their 30th year of making music together!

Cindy Kallet is a songwriter, singer and guitarist with five solo albums to her credit. Working On Wings To Fly and Cindy Kallet 2 on Folk Legacy Records, and Dreaming Down A Quiet Line, This Way Home, and Leave the Cake in the Mailbox - Songs for Parents and Kids Growing Up (chosen for a 2004 Parents' Choice Gold Award ) on Stone's Throw Music. She has also recorded a collaborative effort with Gordon Bok entitled Neighbors (Timberhead), a duo album with Grey Larsen, Cross the Water, and has extensive performing experience throughout North America. Cindy's love for the natural beauty of the New England coast has been the inspiration for many of her songs. The CINDY KALLET SONGBOOK - A Collection for Guitar and Voice published in 2003 by Stone's Throw Music, contains words, music. chords, and guitar tab for 32 original songs.
