Come see us sing!  Or there may be pouting. Get your Cup fill! Tell us what's on your mind. Or just make something up.

Who Are We?
(and why are we in this handbasket?)

Put together three ladies with a sly sense of humor, a love of traditional music, the smoothest vocal blend around and a devastating talent in the fine art of eyelash-batting, and you have In Our Cups.

In Our Cups, also known individually as Jillian Cedio, Faith Love and Darcy Nair (alphabetically so's to discourage in-fighting), have years of performing experience in a wide variety of music and theater genres.  On a whim we decided to match voices -- and wits -- and have found the results to be no less than sublime!  Most of our offerings are a cappella, but we've been known to break out the octave mandolin, tambourine, and the ever popular shicka zucchini to accompany us.

As you can see, we frequently perform in silly clothing (as our alter egos Perspicacity, Felicity and Vanity), but are equally happy to perform while wearing fewer feathers.

With sparkling vocal harmonies and a bubbly comic style to match, In Our Cups is sure to keep your audience singing -- and laughing -- along.

Upcoming Performances

Pirate Feast 6: The Quest for the Chest!

We're polishing up our cutlasses and spit-shining our boots -- we're coming back to the 6th Annual Privateer Feast and Shantey Sing! The Feasting takes place on Saturday, February 24, 2007 at 6:30 pm, and doesn't stop until 11:00 pm (or you get chased off the plank). Get *ready* to buy your tickets NOW! Okay, it's not your fault. Who would've thought that this event would sell out in TWO AND A HALF MINUTES? But, you can certainly still get your name on the wait list. Bribes are a good idea. :)

Food, libation, tons of raffle items, and a full boat of entertainment. As always, all proceeds from the event go to breast cancer research...In Our Cups supports breasts! (Or rather, our bodices do, but you get the point.)

Virginia Renaissance Faire

We're delighted to be making a special ONE WEEKEND appearance at the VA Renaissance Faire, but it's a lonnnnng weekend! Come out to beautiful Lake Anna Winery on Memorial Day Weekend, May 26 - 28, and get your Cup on!

Your Party!

Vanity and Serendipity share a dance while Felicity sings a pretty song which is not at all filthy.
