Trilogy with Featured Guests Dan & Peggy Duggan

Trilogy was born out of the mutual respect and friendship of three multi-talented and award-winning singer-songwriters: Sheila Warner, Brooksie Edwards and Richard Edwards. Having shared bills over a number of years, their fate was sealed as a trio when they wound up living across the street from one another. Trilogy shows combine trio and solo work, jazz and folk, originals and standards into a performance that is mult-faceted and musically compelling.
