Random Acts of Harmony



Our Biography-

An acoustic folk trio, Random Acts of Harmony has been performing throughout Seacoast and southern New Hampshire at concerts, festivals, fund raisers, arts organization events, coffeehouses, and farmer's markets.  Individually we have long musical histories, having performed in groups that opened for the Beach Boys, The Lettermen, and Pete Seeger.  Together, in addition to our own show, we have performed with High Range Band; Mamapella; Sweet, Hot and Sassy; Cordwood, and others.

Random Acts of Harmony performs for large and small audiences who enjoy listening to and singing along with traditional and familiar folk tunes sung in three part harmony with acoustic guitar, 5-string banjo, and stand-up bass accompaniment.  Our musical influences range from late 50's Weavers and Kingston Trio, through Bluegrass and Old Timey, to Blues, Gospel, even Broadway.  Known for our crisp and tight three-part harmonies, the Atlantic News said about a recent concert at Exeter Town Hall “…the vocals had listeners fixed on every soft melodic note.”  Along with traditional American and British Isles folk songs, we cover the music of John Prine, Steve Goodman, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bill Staines, Tom Paxton and many others.  Audiences like their tunes and love their harmonies.
