Their musical interests are firmly rooted classic American standard jazz songs of the period. They have appeared on the stages of The John F.

The group has received exceptional reviews from the Washington Post, the Washington Times, and from JazzReview.com. Satin Doll Trio's vocalist Patrice Ferris's greatest strength lies in her innate ability to connect with her material and communicate that intimacy with the listener. In a review of the trio's second release "I'm Glad There Is You", the Washington Post wrote that, "she always places her considerable talent at the service of the song, making the words count and the moods linger", while JazzReview.com called her phrasing "spot-on and creative" as Patrice puts her own personal stamp on songs like "Easy Street", "Nevertheless", and "Rock Me To Sleep". Patrice has graced the cover of Washington Flyer magazine, as the magazines pick for "Best In Show", and most recently, the front cover of Volume V of THE WORLD WHO'S WHO IN JAZZ, CABARET, MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT, who called her the best trio singer of 2007. Patrice is solidly accompanied by guitarist Ken Kilpatrick, a native of upstate New York, and bassist Fred Ferris, a Washington D.C. native, who have both been part of the D.C. areas music scene for the past twenty years.

This artist is a very talented vocalist, arranger, songwriter, producer, and musician. These are qualities not often found among WOMEN in the music industry. Candace "Mahogany" Miller was born in the heart of Texas. She was raised in a God fearing family where music was an intricate part of everyday life. Mahogany has been a musician all her life. She has been trained in several areas of the performing arts including vocal, theatrical, dance, and instrumental instruction.
