Good Things Trio - Ali Romanow, Patti Powell, and Erinn Doncaster - is what happens when three joyfully nerdy choir directors decide to start a band together. Serving delicious harmonies, eclectic tunes, and unexpected arrangements, Good Things Trio's mission is to spread the joy of harmony singing so as many people as possible can experience the life-affirming, heart-opening, AWESOMENESS of collective singing!
Patti is a born and raised Lower Mainlander. She grew up with a profound stutter, and singing became more and more of a passion and a path, as singing made the stutter disappear. Besides singing with Good Things Trio and being a soloist with the City Soul Choir, Patti is the founder and director of both The Acapellaboratory Singing Gang and The Choral Conspiracy, 2 community choirs for any and all voices. She loves her bike, the Muppets, dancing, making funny voices and being an Auntie.
