According to the Three Altos website: "A rabbi, a folksinger, and a university professor make up the unlikely vocal trio of 'Three Altos.' Rabbi Amy Bernstein, singer-songwriter Sara Thomsen and Dr. Paula Pedersen have developed their vocal blend from years of harmonizing a friendship over food, conversation, laughter and song."

In an interview and performance on KUMD, one of the group's members said, "We're not just a band. We are very close friends."

Their music is touchingly beautiful. Just listen to "One Voice" and "God is God" (a Steve Earle tune) recorded in a Live from Studio A appearance.

Those tunes are from the Duluth trio's final CD titled "One Voice." There's more about that release here.

And here's video of the Three Altos performing "One Voice."
