We trusted each other, and for some reason, we had an instinctual feeling that we’d be OK if we gathered to play music, so we did.” “We had been working our thing concurrently with Kerry, Raquel and I working out this trio—this rhythm section thing,” Brandt said. “But we were missing one thing and that was three-part harmonies, so we eventually put it all Those lush harmonies ultimately inspired the band’s moniker and now serve as the cornerstone of Voxanna’s acoustic folk-rock soundWhat resulted is a self-titled debut album filled with rich vocals and harmonies, acoustic neo-folk instrumentation flavored with elements of psych rock, jazz and world beats and compelling tales linked to personal and societal challenges.
