Thanks For The Music

GENTRI performed at the Higley Center for the Performing Arts in Gilbert, Arizona on December 21, 2019. They performed a very inspirational 'Finding Christmas' show with many beautiful Christmas songs. Most of the songs were about the birth of Jesus Christ. They all have amazing voices. Their piano player was fantastic. Their special message of the birth of Jesus Christ, hope, love, service, and charity, was a perfect reminder this time of year.

GENTRI, which is short for “The Gentlemen Trio” was established in June 2014 and is comprised of three dynamic tenors: Brad Robins, Casey Elliott and Bradley Quinn Lever. Pioneering a signature sound they call “Cinematic Pop,” the music of GENTRI is transfused with lush, epic orchestrations and rich, dynamic three-part harmonies all composed by the group’s producer Stephen Nelson.

To date, GENTRI has released three EP’s and three full length albums, the most recent being “Noel”, GENTRI’s second Christmas album, which debuted #6 on iTunes pop charts, just under Taylor Swift. Almost all of GENTRI’s albums have reached #1 on various Billboard charts. The Gents are also known for their award-winning music videos, which have been featured on news outlets around the world including ABC World News, NBC Nightly News and Inside Edition.
