‘Caroline Meaden, Alice Dixon, and William McBride feel like the type of performers that make me want to ask: could your trio become a quartet?...’

From “part-storytime, part-awkward lap dance, part hypnotism, part-requiem,” all three solos reveal their earnest take on life. This is “what it feels like to be alive right now.” An unpolished lullaby, a gentle roll, I am warmed by the sense of camaraderie Meaden, Dixon, and McBride create. Jam toast and fine company can hush life’s little heartbreaks.’
