In Langley, British Columbia, Canada, Exit 58 is much more than just a highway exit into a beautiful city. It is an up-and-coming vocal trio that is gaining widespread popularity.

Chris Parsons, Laura Day and Kendra Croft make up this acoustic trio, and Exit 58 is the musical evolution of friendships that began over a decade ago. The group’s “toe tapping music” (Daphne Kelly, City of Langley) consists of your favourite songs played in a way you’ve never heard them before. With a vast repertoire ranging from Paul Simon to The Dixie Chicks, you are bound to catch yourself singing along to Exit 58’s fresh twist on all-time classics of yesterday and the great tunes of today.

Exit 58 provides “great entertainment” (Langley Citizen Crime Watch Patrol) in a “truly wonderful [and] relaxing” performance (Betty Martel, Langley). While at first glance they may seem like a 21st Century version of “Peter, Paul[a] and Mary”, upon seeing them you soon realize the unique versatility of their trio. Exit 58 is a mix of Jack Johnson with a good dollop of The Dixie Chicks, a dash of Simon and Garfunkel and just the slightest sprinkle of The Rankin Family.

So check out this acoustic, versatile and unique trio in person. They’re easy to find. Just head into Langley. . . oh, and take Exit 58.
