Don't Miss A Classical Crossover! It's SIMPLY THREE At McCallum Theatre!!

The McCallum Theatre presents Simply Three on Wednesday, February 15, at 8:00pm. Since 2010, the electrifying trio of Glen McDaniel (violin), Nick Villalobos (cello), and Zack Clark (bass), together known as Simply Three, has captivated audiences worldwide with high-octane performances. Acclaimed as "having what it takes" (Boston Philharmonic) and "highly imaginative and well played" (Maine Today), Simply Three continues to receive praise for their ability to impress listeners with a multitude of genres that span from Puccini and Gershwin to artists such as Adele, Coldplay, and Michael Jackson. By reshaping convention through this style of genre hopping, the trio seeks the true essence of classical crossover with original works as well as innovative arrangements that showcase their technical virtuosity and heartfelt musicality.

With a growing online popularity, Simply Three is creating excitement for instrumental music through inventive music videos that have captured the hearts of millions of YouTube viewers across the globe. On their YouTube channel, "Wake Me Up" (Avicii) has more than 13.6 million views and "Rolling in the Deep" (Adele) is closing in on 11 million views.

Furthermore, their works have gained critical recognition by publications such as The Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, and RyanSeacrest.com, as well as mainstream artists themselves. Chart-topping rockers OneRepublic praised Simply Three's version of their hit single "Counting Stars," exclaiming they "LOVE this 'Counting Stars' cover!" Additionally, Grammy-nominated R&B sensation Janelle Monáe proclaimed the trio's project of her hit singles "Cold War" and "Tightrope" to be "an honor" while making it a highlighted feature of her personal website.

Simply Three has old school training but a new school sound. Since the release of their debut EP, Two Worlds Collide, Simply Three has collaborated with some of the world's most creative musicians, including artists such as guitarist Kellindo Parker, Janelle Monáe and beatboxer Jeff Smith (M-Pact).

Their approach to innovation extends beyond the musical world, and with a unique pairing with EPIK Dance Company, Simply Three continues to look beyond the scope of the possible in order to create a new, fresh genesis for the arts. With this, the trio is able to merge shows into a unique synergy of thrilling performances and tone-rich sounds not soon to be forgotten.
