Where on the periodic table is Trillium-239: The name “Trillium-239” is the fusion of the lovely 3-petaled woodland flower and the atomic mass of a plutonium isotope. The latter is a nod to the Hanford nuclear site, home to the world’s first full-scale nuclear reactor during WWII. It was the Hanford Site that directly or indirectly drew the three members of Trillium-239 to Richland, Washington.
Good Media Bits: Sporting double digit-sized shoes and soaring vocals, Trillium-239 has been dubbed their hometown's own divas. Their original writing and harmonic style reflects the influences of Bach, Shawn Colvin and Mississippi John Hurt. Tight vocal arrangements have been called "Ear Candy." High energy performances are a Trio signature.
