Our Trios
Our classy trios are the perfect option if you are planning your wedding music from ceremony through reception or looking to take your corporate event or private party to the next level. The groups below provide a full sound and feature a variety of genres of music!
For string trio options, visit our quartet page (click here) as most of our quartet set list works well for trio too. In a trio combination, the two violins and cello carry the important parts of music. If budget allows, a quartet is the best option though as the viola adds more harmonic richness and depth to the ensemble's sound.

Holly, Josh, and Seth
|
Holly, Josh, and Seth all grew up with a love for music which spanned many genres and they began learning their instruments at a young age! Throughout their youth, they found opportunities to share music in their schools, communities, and churches. Since graduating college, they have not only worked as performers but also educators, training the next generation of musicians. Currently Seth works as an music educator with Black Tie Music Academy, Josh is the director of percussion at Ashley Ridge High School, and Holly is a music therapy clinical supervisor at Charleston Southern University. On Sundays you can find these three in local church communities contributing to worship services on their respective instruments. In addition to weddings and corporate events, they enjoy sharing trio music for worship experiences, retreats, and conferences. What sets this group apart is how they enjoy performing an eclectic range of music (check out their set list below) which allows them to keep their skill set high and monotony low. The variety is simply a lot of fun - plus it makes sure there's a song for everyone at an event! Set List:

The Boardmans
|
Jordan and Kelly Boardman met when Kelly hired Jordan to play on her full length album "Things I See" under the stage name Kelly Evergreen. Kelly has been playing around the Charleston music scene for years, with performances at Awendaw Green and Kudu Coffee in downtown Charleston. After completing the intensive program at the Contemporary Music Center in Nashville, TN, she decided to pursue a degree in Music Therapy at Charleston Southern University. After graduating she moved to Nashville to pursue her love of songwriting and performing. Jordan has been working as a professional drummer since graduating from the Los Angeles College of Music, making his first mark in Knoxville, TN, and later in Nashville. They both lived in Nashville for a few years, but ultimately decided to move to Kelly's hometown of Charleston, SC, to make their mark on the local music scene together. They love to partner with some of the Lowcountry's best keyboardists and bassists to form a trio and perform various Motown favorites, 80's and 90's classics with their folk and soulful inspired sound. They hope to provide a relaxed and down to earth listening experience, while honoring the classics. Set List:

Abby, Kyle, and Rachel
Rachel, Abby, and Kyle all share a passion for performing, enjoy a wide variety of musical styles, and are proficient on many different instruments! The flavor of their music is exciting and dynamic, as they move through a variety of styles and instrument combinations during their sets.
Rachel contributes mostly on piano, weaving through rhythmic accompaniment, harmonization, and melodic solos; however, she is also a vocalist and loves to sing Jazz, Theatre, Classical, and Sacred styles when the three of them perform. Abby is an excellent violinist and improvises both melodies and harmonies with beautiful grace. She also plays piano excellently and can sub with Rachel when Rachel is singing. Kyle is a multi-talented percussionist and can change the flavor of the music smoothly and easily by simply switching his instrument. He can add gorgeous low tones on the marimba, create melodies and choral harmonies on the vibraphone, or kick the music into high gear on the drum set!
All three musicians studied music in college and now work professionally in the Lowcountry music scene, contributing to the artistic demands of the community in a wide variety of ways. Rachel is a choral and vocal educator, an arranger and composer for hire, and a public performer, both as a pianist and a vocalist. Abby is an active violinist, pianist, and teacher in the Lowcountry, as well as a published composer. She enjoys teaching private piano and violin lessons, as well as accompanying and teaching at Charleston Southern University. Kyle recently finished his Masters degree at the University of Southern Mississippi, and is now a freelance percussionist and educator in the Lowcountry.
The three musicians are proficient in a stunning variety of musical genres, from sweet and reflective Classical ceremony music, to smooth and steady slow dance music, to upbeat Bossa Nova and Jazz styles for a reception. They love performing together and enjoy culturing the appropriate atmosphere for any occasion with their incredible music!
