The Once is a folk trio based out of St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. The group features Geraldine Hollett on lead vocals and vocalists/instrumentalists Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale playing a variety of instruments. The group performs a mix of original and traditional material and are often noted for what one reviewer calls their "gorgeous three part harmonies," which are sometimes performed a capella.[1] In August 2009 they released an eponymous album on Borealis Records.
