We Three are about to go on tour (Image: PH)
We Three have come a great distance.
Nowadays, they’re often called a strong, three-piece pop band whose catchy and genre-defining hooks have wowed audiences world wide.
This October, the Oregon-born siblings, Manny, Bethany and Joshua Humlie, might be hitting the street as soon as once more to start their autumnal tour within the UK and Europe. And, though they’ve solely actually been round for round 5 years, their reveals have greater than doubled in capability every time.
Speaking completely to Express.co.uk, Joshua grinned over Zoom: “London is a special city for us because it is the first city we played [in Europe] … it was to, like, 100 people. A year later we went back and it grew a little bit, went back, it grew a little bit. And the last time we went there it was like 1,000 people.”
Nowadays, these earlier reveals now look like mere warm-ups. In July, We Three dropped their fourth album – Love Me – and the band have fairly clearly settled into a brand new sound. With pop-produced crescendos and clever play on phrases, you possibly can really feel their music composition and gravitas rising with every single. But they don’t seem to be what you would possibly anticipate.

Although Love Me feels like a top-ten pop file, the We Three’s sensibilities are akin to that of your native steel band.
They crafted all the pieces on the file, pack up their very own buses, and drive world wide in cramped situations to convey their music to the lots. Truly, they’re a dwell band at coronary heart.
Manny assured followers their upcoming dwell reveals are progressive. “We haven’t put together a brand new show in a long time,” he smiled. “So it’s very fresh, very new.”
Mostly, the trio are excited to start altering their music on the fly after they get into a brand new rhythm. “The songs always change live,” Manny went on. “That’s kind of our favourite part… but this album came out pretty quick. Some of these songs are pretty old – some of them are like three years old – but we pulled them out and brushed the dust off them, so the album came out pretty quickly.
“Translating this [album] to dwell has been, immediately, very artistic.” Whether it means adding solos or extending pieces of their songs, We Three are satisfied in the knowledge that they are flexing their minds to excite their fans.
The band are promising an eclectic and thrilling setlist – even if the siblings cannot agree on their favourite song. (“Mine is Bad A** B***h,” Manny yelled. Bethany hit back: “I like Fire Away!”)
But disagreements are rare for this family. “I’ve received used to their methods,” Bethany laughed while discussing living in such close proximity with her brothers. “Now we simply soar on tour with the tour household… If we did not have our crew – who we love and adore – we’d in all probability hate one another.”

That apart, Bethany assured me: “We’re actually so excited [about going on tour]. I’m counting down the times!” Manny nodded enthusiastically: “Touring is our favorite place.”
Sure, every band on the planet says they’re “actually excited” to go on tour – but I really believe We Three. After appearing on America’s Got Talent in 2018 (and making it to the semifinals), they’ve been in front of more eyeballs than most bands ever will in their careers, so it feels like Manny, Bethany and Joshua’s desire to play live music is more about their artistic impact than simple rockstar narcissism.
Naturally, their AGT legacy is something they think about often, as well. In the UK, there seems to be a stigma around talent show musicians and bands. Countless artists have seen their careers crash and burn shortly after the cameras stopped rolling. There are success stories, though. Dare we mention the names of One Direction or Little Mix? Kelly Clarkson? Leona Lewis? And the wonderful Rylan? But these are the exceptions – not the rule.
So then, it’s of course natural for We Three to think about their legacy, and how they might be viewed by new fans.
Do they think they have passed the supposed “stigma” of being on a mainstream talent show? “I’d say sure,” Manny jumped right in. “There’s at all times going to be that piece behind our minds the place we’re nonetheless making an attempt to interrupt out of that – and even when we do fully, I believe that is going to be one thing that we’re at all times making an attempt to chase. Just to maintain pushing additional and farther from it.”
Coming back to London a few years ago, when they performed for the most people they had ever played to in a headline gig, Manny recalled: “I do suppose two reveals in the past in London was one of many major reveals for me the place I really feel like we broke out of it [the ‘stigma’].”
Taking a second to think about it, he added: “And I really felt like… it sounds dramatic – however the chains got here off a bit. And it was like, oh yeah, we’re a band.”
Manny concluded: “But, I believe that may at all times be one thing to chase, as a result of we cannot ever totally really feel like we have carried out it but… Which I really feel like is an effective factor!”
However We Three are viewed by the masses, they mainly see themselves as creatives. A band. A family.
And, as a result, their music is endless. Although they only just released Love Me over the summer, they’re already looking ahead at what’s going to come next.
“The studio is at all times going,” they confirmed. “It by no means stops, however we’ll in all probability take somewhat little bit of day off once we get again [from the UK tour]. There’s too many songs happening proper now so our plan is to only launch a ridiculous quantity once we get again – simply type of shock folks!”
“Mainly,” Manny said. “Because we wish folks to listen to it, and we do not need to have to attend. We’re going to be doing barely completely different methods with that once we get again.”
