About the Trio

In word & song

Joyful Melody Trio is one of Alberta's few Southern Gospel music ministries — a pastor's wife and two farmer's daughters committed to excellence and to making every word of the Gospel clearly heard.

They tour across Western and Central Canada, singing from church platforms to prison chapels, charities, senior facilities and jamborees. Nominated for Southern Gospel Album of the Year, 2006.
