A manifestation of pure joy, The Three Sisters combines the considerable talents of Bow Valley singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Heather Jean Jordan, Irene Poole, and Ji Won Baxter. Like so many female trios before them (The Andrews Sisters, Trio, The Good Lovelies, the Wailin’ Jennies), three unique voices blend to create musical alchemy, transcending genre or style. Named after the iconic local mountain range, rich harmonies and creative instrumentals (piano, violin, ukuleles, guitar) form the bedrock for this trio as they traverse sonic landscapes of folk, jazz, opera, and original music, reaching breathtaking highs, otherworldly lows, and always carrying with them a light in the darkness.

Ji Won Baxter
Ji Won Baxter is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Banff, AB. A classically-trained violinist, Ji Won has taken her experience in the concert hall and has woven the lyrical overtones of the Western classical tradition with grooves and edges of the Folk Revival era in her newly-minted singing career. Ji Won has performed with Carter Ryan Productions, Canmore Folk Festival and Banff & Lake Louise Tourism. In her writings, she draws from human connection and cross-class political tension in our world affairs. In her performances, she seeks warmth and comfort between musical spaces, audiences and music, where love and appreciation for art can supersede aesthetics or corporatism.
