A Musical Comedy Tradition Spanning More Than 50 Years

Three on a String traces its beginnings to 1971, when Jerry Ryan and Bobby Horton performed together as a duo before the group expanded and developed into the long-running musical comedy act audiences know today. Over the decades, Three on a String has performed throughout the United States and Canada for theaters, arts councils, Chambers of Commerce, conventions, festivals, city celebrations and other events. The group has also performed with symphony orchestras in several states, including a multi-city tour with the Alabama Symphony.

The group’s longevity is particularly impressive in live entertainment. Three on a String celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021 and was inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in 2023, following an earlier induction into the Alabama Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame.

Clean Comedy, Great Music and Audience-Friendly Entertainment

The appeal of Three on a String is the interaction between the music and the humor. Audiences are not simply watching a bluegrass concert interrupted by jokes. Comedy, personalities, storytelling and musicianship are woven together throughout the performance.

Depending on the program, audiences may hear influences from:

• Bluegrass
• Traditional country
• Folk music
• Gospel
• Western and acoustic music
• Familiar sing-along favorites

The group’s current descriptions emphasize lively acoustic music, three-part harmony and comedy, with material ranging from folk and bluegrass to country and other American musical styles.

Three on a String for Corporate Events and Conventions
