Three highly regarded musicians Elizabeth Braggins – piano, vocals Graham Wardrop – guitar, vocals Mary Dunne – guitar, vocals formed the trio “Braggins and Wardrop and Dunne ” Exuberance and joy come together when this trio performs, from the beautiful close harmonies of songs sung as the group, counter posed with songs from each performer, without exception self penned and composed numbers that highlight the individual as well as their talent. A truly exceptional night of fine entertainment by three mega musicians.
