Thursday, I started at Arnold's to see Raison D'Etre.  The  most gorgeous three-part harmonies I have ever heard.  If you've never heard these ladies, you're doing yourselves a disservice.  You need only to hear them sing "Broken Radio" to know that you're in the presence of musical genius.

"...complex harmonies performed with intricate perfection."

"...crafty arrangements of standards."

"...these women offer voices that are crystal pure and harmonies that are bright, tight, and bursting with beauty!"
