A talented trio of New York City-based singer/songwriters -- Ben Lusher, Richard Saunders, and Elliott Skinner -- Thirdstory's evocative blend of soul, folk, R&B, and indie pop invokes names like Sam Smith, Drake, and Fleet Foxes. Formed in 2015, the group developed a strong grassroots following via their popular YouTube channel, which saw them delivering richly detailed, three-part harmony-laden renditions of popular songs by Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, and Tove Lo, among others. They released their debut EP, Searching, in 2017 -- that same year saw the trio join Chance the Rapper on tour -- and in 2018, they dropped their debut full-length outing, Cold Heart, which was produced by Grammy-winner Malay (Frank Ocean, Zayn, Sam Smith). ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
