Brentwood, TN

The Christian music trio ZOEgirl were highly regarded for their sweet harmonies laced with dance inflections and charismatic performances. Alisa Girard, Chrissy Conway, and Kristin Swinford came together in the late '90s, when they received buzz from the press and began playing shows with Carman. Signed to Sparrow Records, Zoegirl released an eponymous debut in 2000. The next three albums arrived on Sparrow within two-year intervals -- Life in 2001, Different Kind of Free in 2003, and Room to Breathe in 2005 -- before the group's split in 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
