After playing in different bands, studying at various colleges, and honing their individual musical skills, they eventually collaborated in 2006, dubbed themselves “3 in Counting”,and recorded Romance, their first CD of 5 original song tracks. Soon after, the band recruited Rob Kletsky (bass). A devoted fan following developed immediately.
