Thirdstory (New York, NY)

Genre:Pop

<p>THIRDSTORY combines the talents of three of the most promising singer/songwriter/instrumentalists of the millennial generation. Individually, Richard Saunders, Ben Lusher, and Elliott Skinner have performed as featured soloists at the Monterey and North Sea Jazz Festivals, the Kennedy Center, and official GRAMMY Awards events. Together, they create a uniquely soulful sound. Influenced by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young as much as Amy Winehouse, this trio has been delivering consistently stunning performances at NYC venues such as the Cutting Room and Rockwood Music Hall. Their eclectic sound is both relatable yet not simply defined: their live shows mix harmonious reimaginations of songs by the likes of Jimmy Cliff and Sam Smith with delicately crafted, soul-tinged originals. As the trio trades verses, instruments, and harmonies, it's easy to see that THIRDSTORY is much more than a vocal group - it's a collective of three of the most distinctive voices in NYC soul music today.</p>
