ABOUT

“They all have fabulous voices and a knack for writing catchy songs with tight harmonies.” - The Oregonian

“Beth Kahlen, Stephanie Torres and Carrie Rambo never met a tune they couldn’t harmonize into delirious submission …the Chicks keep fun on the front burner and enjoy some cheeky wordplay to boot.” - Portland Tribune
