Caffe Lena 60 Episode 21 1980

Huxtable, Christensen and Hood
Artist
Huxtable, Christensen and Hood

Known for their tight vocal harmonies, often a cappella, plus their inventive arrangements and lively humor-filled performances, they were favorites with audiences in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions for years. 

This is episode 21 of Caffe Lena: 60 Years of Song. Thank you to Sarah for her work in compiling the list of artists for this feature. 

Teresina Huxtable, Carol Christensen and Liz Hood sang popular music of five centuries, including traditional music of the British Isles and North America, Renaissance songs, sheet music standards, doo-wop, Western, and original tunes. They appeared at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Old Songs Festival, The Clearwater and Bear Mountain Festivals, The Towne Crier, Caffe Lena and Godfrey Daniels.

After a long hiatus from regular performances, they released a new CD in 2016 and had returned to more frequent appearances. Recently, after a friendship of 53 years and a singing partnership of 45 years, we learned of the passing of Liz Hood.

They quiet noisy bars and liven up staid concert halls.  Katie, Caroline, and Lucia are The Ladles. This Boston based trio is known for a sense of humor, tight harmonies and delightful arrangements. The band's name was taken from a sign on a third floor restroom at the New England Conservatory, apparently it was a boy who changed it to read: The Ladles Room.
