Three Graces is comprised of Sara Gettelfinger, Kelly Levesque and Joy Kabanuck. Their mix of the best of pop, Broadway, and opera creates a unique listening experience that transcends musicals boundaries. In Greek mythology, the Three Graces represent beauty, wisdom, and charm. Just like the legendary figures who inspired their name, these artists personify exhilarating talent. On their self-titled debut album released on March 4th, the trio explores a stunning array of styles and moods, singing in English, Italian, Spanish and French.
The Washington Post recently lauded their "genuine vocal chops, pop savvy and camera-loving looks should take them far," while Pollstar said they will, "charm North America." The ladies are coming off of a very successful 20-city tour with British opera sensation Paul Potts, where they appeared as his special guest performing both solo material, and a duet with Paul.
"Our sound is very full, very grand," explained Gettelfinger in a recent interview. "What makes us special is that we are able to have a sound as a trio but, at the same time, exist as individuals." Kelly Levesque elaborates, "We mix smart pop with a classical, grand sensibility."

Austynzogs,
I spent last weekend in Abuja and returned yesterday.
It is a very engaging year for me and my associates. But I have to be very careful as well to escape from the pitfalls of success.
You have not updated your blog since your Mother's Day post.
Cheers and God bless.
