Peter, Paul and Mary, e.g.

Answer:

TRIO

Hint:

Think of a small group often seen performing together, like a musical act with exactly three members.

Explanation:

This clue refers to the folk music group Peter, Paul and Mary, which famously had three members. The phrase "e.g." signals that they’re an example of the answer, which is a word for a group of three. "Trio" fits perfectly since it means exactly that—a set of three people, often in music or performance.
