Biography
editGrammy-nominated singer-songwriters Wendy Waldman, Cidny Bullens, and Deborah Holland had performed extensively in separate group projects and as solo artists before forming the Refugees in 2007.[3][4] They released their debut album, Unbound, on Wabuho Records in 2009.[3] Guitar Player magazine described Unbound as "a rootsy outing replete with catchy arrangements and sparkling three-part vocal harmonies."[4] The trio appeared on NPR's Mountain Stage, where they performed two songs from the album as well as "Save the Best for Last", a hit single for Vanessa Williams that was co-written by Waldman, and a cover version of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love".[5] The Refugees released their second album, Three, in 2012. In a review of the album, Wood & Steel magazine said "the trio's rich musical chemistry is readily on display, giving the record a cohesive sound that often feels as intimate as a living room house concert."[2]
