The Trills
The Trills boast over 44M youtube views, 1.5 million streams, 4M followers across platforms and 350 million TikTok views!

Many will recognize The Trills’ from their appearance on on the Kelly Clarkson Show or their Baltimore Ravens NFL Stadium appearance. But they've also shared the stage with T3, VoicePlay and Straight No Chaser, and collaborated with notable celebrities, including Tim McGraw and Drew Scott of TV's "Property Brothers". They started in a dorm room. Now they're NFL Half-time performers and brand ambassadors. This marks their return to SingStrong!

Julia Easterlin
Ethereal, mesmerizing and even spiritual, Julia Easterlin is a live looper, layering her own live harmonies under leads that float, soar and pull at your heart. She is a Grammy Winner for her collaboration with Jacob Collier, an opening act for Pentatonix, and a featured performer with Bobby McFerrin. Now a Brooklynite, Julia hails from Georgia with performances that span the world: from Lollapalooza to TED conferences, from MIDEM to CMJ and SXSW. Her artistry has been awarded by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, the New York Songwriters Circle and Berklee College of Music in Boston. She's been a featured performer at Lollapalooza, TED Foundation, TEDxWomen and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. Julia has performed her unique style of layered live singing from Cuba to the Himalayas and she's delighted to return to SingStrong where she made her a cappella festival debut. One of our most requested repeat artists, her last performance received a standing ovation after each song. Julia is one of the rare performers to have been featured at SingStrong festivals in DC, Chicago, and New York!

Harmonic Introductions
Overtone singing is the art of having a single singer perform more than one note at the same time. The floating harmonic notes the singers produce are often described as shimmering, angelic and flute-like. But there is a tremendous range of colors that can be created by even a single vocalist. Now, imagine what happens when multiple singers of this art form come together to create an overtone singing ensemble! SingStrong attendees will see some familiar overtone singing instructors in this line up. Harmonic Introductions is a community vocal ensemble dedicated to the art of overtone singing. Co-founded by directors Robb Saffell and Julian-Israel Canizares, Harmonic Introductions has hosted and participated in over 100 events over the past decade to expand awareness, appreciation, and understanding of polyphonic overtone singing. The ensemble founders are joined by longtime member Ian Kyle for this group's official SingStrong debut!
