Cindy Bullens, Deborah Holland, and Wendy Waldman are THE REFUGEES, a new band of critically-acclaimed singer-songwriters performing their award-winning and new in glorious three-part harmony with high energy, humor, and stellar musicianship.
The Refugees represent an incredible convergence of songwriting and performing talent.

They have been described as a female version of Crosby, Stills and Nash with humor.
