NGW gleaned a reputation in the Bay Area during the height of cabaret for their outstanding harmonies, strong solo voices, theatrics and humor.  They began singing together in 1978 and soon became known as “The Ladies of the 80s.”  During most of the 1980s when the cabaret scene was flourishing they received four Cabaret Gold awards (including the special Golden Laurel award) and two Cable Car awards for their superlative performances. 

Following a Broadway bound tour with New York’s favorite cabaret chanteuse Barbara Cook, NGW returned to the Bay Area and each pursued separate careers while continuing to maintain and develop a repertoire which featured their impeccable harmony.  After a short two-year hiatus NGW got back together and released their second CD in the fall of 1996 consisting of live performances. 

"They blend like a perfect martini.”

                          - Calvin Ahlgren, S. F. Chronicle

“Nicholas, Glover & Wray …are not the Manhattan Transfer…their harmonies are tighter, their musicality more pronounced. 

They are in fact, something like a reincarnated Boswell Sisters… simply marvelously entertaining."

   - Phil Elwood, S.F. Examiner

"They are among the best

when it comes to singing in

almost any musical style."

    - Larry Kelp, Oakland Tribune

They re-released their first album which was recorded in 1982 at “The Automatt”, featuring some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians including Giovanna Imbesi, Randy Jackson (American Idol), and Barbara Borden.  Produced by Terry Garthwaite (Joy of Cooking band) and engineered by Leslie Ann Jones (Skywalker Sound).  The album comprises a mixture of jazz and blues as well as a few “cutting edge” original esoteric pieces all threaded together with their critically acclaimed vocal blend.
