Free concert in Frisco

The town of Frisco will feature music by The Trishas as part of its free Concerts in the Park series Thursday.

True, their individual bios may support their claims of having all had separate lives before meeting one another, but to hear them sing together, you would swear they were harmonizing from the womb. Their comfort level with one another is obvious; they laugh frequently and easily together, and even on tiny stages, they smoothly switch among a variety of stringed and percussion instruments, including drums. The music begins at 5:30 p.m. at the Frisco Historic Park, and refreshments are provided by and benefit Team Summit. Visit http://www.townoffrisco.com for more information.
