Finest Kind

With opening act Grietzer, Manning & Hodgson
in the Drake House Studio Theater
at 171 Cedar Arts Center, 155 Cedar Street, Corning

Finest Kind's vocal arrangements are a creative tour de force. Tradition-based yet curiously modern, the trio's harmonies are an enchanting feast of opulent chords and ever changing textures. When speaking of this trio's amazing vocal blend, one reviewer said: "Any closer, and they wouldn't be allowed to do it in public." Opening for Finest Kind is Ithaca area trio Hope Grietzer, Rick Manning & Tom Hodgson. More info...
