We Three return to The Blind Pig, three years after their last Ann Arbor stop

The Oregon sibling trio that broke through on America's Got Talent plays the same Ann Arbor room again on Wednesday, April 21.

In April 2024, We Three played The Blind Pig on a Monday night. Three years later almost to the month, the sibling trio is booked into the same room — this time on a Wednesday, and with a fan base in this town that has had a long wait.

We Three plays The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, April 21, 2027, at 7pm. The show was announced on October 14, and tickets are available through TicketWeb. The Blind Pig holds about 400, which is a small room for a band with this kind of following.

If you know We Three, you probably know how you found them. The group is three siblings — Joshua, Bethany and Manny Humlie — from McMinnville, Oregon, who grew up playing in their father's band before starting their own as teenagers, according to the Columbia Chronicle and Lakeshore Public Media. They became widely known in 2018 on season 13 of *America's Got Talent*, where they performed "Heaven's Not Too Far," a song written for their mother, who died of cancer. The song moved the judges and carried the trio to the semifinals, as the Great Bend Tribune reported.

A song written for their mother carried the trio to the semifinals.

What happened next is the part that matters for a show like this. After the show, the siblings released a self-titled debut album, went on tour and decided together to quit their teaching jobs to do the band full-time, per the Columbia Chronicle, which described their sound as pop-rock with a storyteller's streak. The Line of Best Fit profiled them as a band on the rise, and they have since taken the act overseas — a Reuters clip shows them back on the road and playing live in London.

That is a long way from a TV audition, and it explains why a return to Ann Arbor is worth noting. A group that has built its audience song by song, in rooms like this one, keeps coming back to the places where that audience showed up. The Blind Pig has now hosted them twice in three years; on April 21, it will be three times for some of the people in the room.

A 7pm start on a Wednesday keeps it reasonable for a school night, and with about 400 tickets on offer, it is worth deciding sooner rather than later.

April is a long way off. But for the fans who were there in 2024, this one has been on the calendar since the last song ended.
