Take 3
Kevin McMullin, Lisa McGinley, Tom Draughon
New Acoustic Trio, Take 3! Take 3 artists Tom Draughon, Lisa McGinley, and Kevin McMullin are consumate musicians whose delicate vocal arrangements and clear warm harmonies set them apart from almost all other groups in the contemporary acoustic music scene. As individual artists, each has been performing for over 25 years, honing their musical skills and showmanship in front of a wide array of audiences. All three are multi-instrumentalists and strong vocalists with extensive performing and recording backgrounds and performance credits. Take 3's instrumentation includes guitar, fiddle, bass, whistle, bodhran, autoharp, and banjo, and their musical styles range from traditional Appalachian to Celtic to Swing. Joining together in a tightly knit presentation of original and traditional music and songs, their impeccable musicianship and innovative vocal and instrumental arrangements combine to create a concert that will be enjoyed by the most discerning listener. Their premier performances were a rave at the Ashland Folk Festival, Northland College, Ashland, WI, and Ashland Chamber Music Society series. Take 3 were personally asked by Tom Martin-Erickson of Wisconsin Public Radio to perform alongside John McCutcheon and others for the Simply Folk 30th Anniversary Celebration at Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua on July 5,2009.
