MEET GENTRI
Bahh! I have been dying to tell you about this incredibly talented singing group, GENTRI – The Gentlemen Trio. Now that they’ve just released their Christmas single, I couldn’t think of a better way to share my goosebumps with you (yes, you will get chills when you hear their voices), than with a blog post {and video} so you can see and hear them for yourselves!
A few cool facts about GENTRI:
Established in June 2014 and comprised of three Utah native tenors: Casey Elliott, Bradley Quinn Lever, and Brad Robins.
Prior to coming together as a group, they performed individually across the country and around the world in venues including the national and international Broadway tour of Disney’s AIDA, BYU Young Ambassadors, and Michael Mclean’s Forgotten Carols.
Most recently they each starred in Les Miserables, playing the roles of Jean Valjean, Enjolras, and Marius respectively, at Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley City, Utah, a production which sold out over 100 shows and played to over 65,000 people.
Currently, GENTRI is working on their debut album, scheduled to be released in March 2015, under the direction of arranger/producer Stephen Nelson.
5 STOCKING STUFFERS FOR MEN
Since these three Gentlemen are clearly quite fashionable, I asked them to share some stocking stuffer ideas to help you shop for your man this holiday season. Check out their recommendations below and be sure to click on the video for an exclusive preview of their new Christmas single, Silent Night! (You can also see me foolishly trying to learn their vocal warmup routine.)

Pocket Square
Nothing says classy like a well placed pocket square. There was a time when all men wore them. Now it’s more of a lost art form. However, if your man does wear one, just wait and see how many compliments he’ll get. People love the pocket square!

Cuff Links
Sometimes, it’s the little things. Cuff links exist in that special category of accessories that get a lot of bang for their buck. That little hint of sophistication can really make a big difference, and if you’ve never purchased these for your man before, consider a personalized pair with his favorite sports team or musical instrument — they’ll serve as an effortless conversation starter wherever he goes.

Bow Tie
The bow tie is not just for James Bond, Professor Indiana Jones, or the stylish penguin. It can be used in everyday, casual fashion or to break up the standard tie routine of your man’s suit attire. Just ask the fine people at Nordstrom, J.Crew and Neiman Marcus.

Happy Socks
“Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face…and socks.” That’s how that song goes right? Ok, well even if it doesn’t go that way, when you throw on the happy socks it just makes everything a little…happier. Get creative with the combinations of patterns, colors, or again, sports teams! If your man isn’t sure what socks to wear with what outfit… no problem! Happy socks give him a free license to pretty much wear them however he wants.

Wool/Cashmere Scarf
A good quality scarf brings an element of success and sophistication to a man’s wardrobe. It’s one of the most practical accessories in men’s fashion, but still conveys that “I know how stay warm and look good” kind of confidence. Because, Baby, it’s cold outside.
