When Isa Burke, Eleanor Buckland and Mali Obomsawin first played music together while attending Maine Fiddle Camp in Montville more than a dozen years ago, they had no thoughts of forming a band.
Nor did they as they became closer friends in high school – Burke in South Berwick, and Buckland and Obomsawin in Farmington. Or when all three ended up at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Or even as they first started playing gigs around the city and found their harmonies blended nicely, as did their expansive views on what folk music can be.
