Echo is a trio consisting of Chris Petee, Jeff Putnam and Heather Petee. All three are veterans of the music scene in Knox County and each has over 25 years of experience performing solo and in various groups. Their voices blend in three-part harmonies and solo work highlighting folk and soft rock selections from the 1960’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s with a full set consisting of the music of Peter, Paul and Mary.
