Biography

Blaire Stroud, Katie McNeill, and Desera Wasdin first sang at a funeral; later, they cut a demo tape which was eventually sent to RCA Nashville, who signed the trio to a record deal in 2000.[1] They recorded the song, "Just Might Change Your Life", which appeared in the film and on the soundtrack for the film, "Where the Heart Is", in the Summer of 2000. 3 of Hearts also embarked on a tour sponsored by Seventeen magazine, in which the trio performed at shopping malls and promoted prom-related fashion trends.[1]

Their debut album, also titled 3 of Hearts, was issued in July 2001. Two of its singles ("Love Is Enough" and "Arizona Rain") entered the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, peaking at No. 43 and No. 59 respectively. However, 3 of Hearts did not enter Top 40 on the country music charts until early 2002, when their rendition of "The Christmas Shoes" reached a peak of No. 39.
