With “dazzling cello and soaring tenor vocals“ (NPR Music) from Branden & James, and Ms. Passero's “insanely powerful voice,“ (Entertainment Weekly), the trio presents a tour-de force of epic musical collaborations and lighthearted stories that will make you both laugh and cry. They recently recorded their first collaborative album entitled Happy Days, and made their solo concert debut at New York City's Carnegie Hall in October 2024.
