3Sigma was founded in the Spring of 2011 from the remnants of a few bands based in the Picayune MS area; the Boley Creek Band, I-59, and Riverside.  All of the members of the band had, at one time or another, been in one or more of those bands.  David Adams had been the lead singer in Boley Creek.  Don Winters and Jeff Cressione had been in Boley Creek (the band, not the creek) for a while.  Don Winters, Lee Holcomb, and Jan Depner were alumni of I-59.  Finally, Don Winters, Lee Holcomb, Jeff Cressione, and Jan Depner had all been in Riverside.  All five of us were trying to find the right combination of people that would give us the sound we were looking for.  Fortunately, this is it.  We have four accomplished singers with Dave and Don being the lead singers.  Lee and Jan provide most of the harmony vocals.  Dave and Don can also sing harmonies like nobody's business so we occasionally break out in a four part harmony.  Don and Jan provide lead guitars while Dave handles rhythm with Lee on bass and Jeff on drums.  Jan also plays the harmonica and a Roland guitar synthesizer (so that's where those horns came from).
