We Three

From the venue:

We Three the Oregon alt-pop trio – siblings Manny, Bethany and Joshua Humlie – have already built a passionate global fanbase with their anthemic, emotive and life-affirming songs: they have 1.4 million TikTok followers, an audience they cultivated during the pandemic, and their music has received more than 250 million streams. But _Love Me_ is their richest, rawest and hardest-hitting work yet. For frontman and primary songwriter Manny, the album title is a “small phrase” that gives a “huge insight” into the record’s themes. We Three are now a globally popular act selling out shows all over the world, but like so many bands, they started out gigging in and around their hometown – McMinnville, Oregon, a small city 40 miles southwest of Portland. They first came to wider attention in 2018 when they entered _America’s Got Talent_ and stormed all the way to the semi-finals. We Three used _America’s Got Talent_ as a springboard and never looked back. They have since released three previous studio albums – 2018’s _We Three_, 2020’s _Dear Paranoia, Sincerely Me_ and 2022’s _Happy_ – and built a reputation for singing sensitively and insightfully about difficult topics including mental health issues. _Sara_, their most streamed song to date, is a haunting portrait of a young woman struggling with self-harm, substance abuse and depression. As for the band’s collective fantasy: it’s simply to continue their forward momentum. “I always want us to move to a bigger level while staying genuine,” Manny says. “I want us to grow and I believe this album has the songs that will help us do that.
