Biography

Huxtable, Christensen, and Hood sing popular music of five centuries; including British and American traditional music, catches and rounds, music of the Renaissance, hymns, sheet music standards, doo-wop, and original songs. Their tight vocal harmonies (often a capella), and their lively and humor-filled performances have made them favorites with audiences throughout the Northeast. They accompany themselves with some combination of piano, reed organ, recorders, accordion, synthesizer, spoons and other whimsical percussion instruments.

Their first album, "Wallflowers", sadly out of print, was released by Philo Records in 1981 and reissued by Rounder in 1985. Fortunately their second recording, "Melancholy Babies", (Front Hall, 1986), is now available on CD.

"One thing about a performance by Terri Huxtable, Carol Christensen and Liz Hood: You never know what to expect next." - Mike Joyce, Washington Post
