SIMPLY THREE Set for Nov. 8 at Playhouse Square

Making their first visit to Playhouse Square November 8, the electrifying SIMPLY THREE trio of Glen McDaniel, Nick Villalobos and Zack Clark are captivating audiences worldwide with crossover genres, playing innovative arrangements from Adele to Gershwin and Puccini to Coldplay.

By reshaping convention through this style of genre hopping, the trio continues to seek the true essence of classical crossover with original works that showcase their technical virtuosity and heartfelt musicality.

With an ever-growing online popularity, Simply Three is creating a renewed excitement for instrumental music through inventive music videos that have captured YouTube viewers globally by the millions.

Simply Three has "old school training," but a "new school sound." Their quest to look beyond the scope of possibility has led to collaboration with some of the world's most creative musicians: Kellindo Parker (Janelle Mon?e), Alyson Stoner and Jeff Smith (M-Pact), in hopes of creating a fresh new genesis for string playing. With this, the trio is able to merge shows into a unique synergy of thrilling performances and tone-rich sounds.

Simply Three's works have gained critical recognition by such publications as The Huffington Post, Rolling Stone and RyanSeacrest.com. Chart-topping rockers OneRepublic praised Simply Three's version of their hit single "Counting Stars." GRAMMY nominee, r&b star Janelle Mon?e proclaimed it "an honor" for Simply Three to create a version of her hit singles "Cold War" and "Tightrope," and made it a highlighted feature on her personal website.SIMPLY THREE plays the Ohio Theater at Playhouse Square Wed., Nov. 8 at 7:30 pm.
