"We have decades of experience as creative artists, community organizers, educators and inquisitive consumers of life. Patrice is a member of the satirical trio Uncle Bonsai (Arni was a founding member in 1981; retired in Sept. ’24), and has released solo recordings as well as two with classical guitarist Hilary Field; Kathleen Tracy is an accomplished solo artist and community chorus director, who also writes music for plays. Patrice has produced the Wintergrass Festival almost from its inception. Arni and Patrice are also visual artists, and Arni and Kathleen both sought after educators and coaches working with children, adults, and the differently-abled...We present well-crafted songs, instrumental interplay, good stories, good friends, humor — things made with our hands and minds, kindness and community. We believe that most people need to create in some form, and we love being a spark that ignites and encourages creativity in others."

Havilah Rand began her music career at the age of 6 composing songs on an old piano given to her family by some friends. Heavily influenced early on by James Taylor, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Rolling Stones, The Police and a wide range of other styles, Havilah's songs immediately took on an identity of their own. Havilah's soulful and passionate vocal style would lead her to Interlochen Arts Academy and then on to Manhattan School of Music where she would train formally in both jazz and classical technique. Songwriting remained her true love and she soon left New York City for Seattle where she fronted pop-rock band Wish before picking up the guitar and moving on to a solo career of touring and recording. Havilah's first three albums were recorded in the Pacific Northwest where she fell into a tight knit community of artists and musicians. Havilah Currently resides in Bellingham, WA where she performs, teaches, and books her annual youth Holistic Artventures Summer camps and ongoing LifeSong Project sessions.

Raised in the nuclear plains of Eastern Washington, Sue Quigley stole her sister's guitar (abandoned for boys) at 13 and started writing songs about getting out of town and living another life. After graduating from college, fighting forest fires and getting some heartbreak in, she settled in Seattle and started doing some open mics. It was finally after seeing mutual friend Brandi Carlile play that she got the guts up to put a band together and make an EP. Then a full length CD "Perfect Chaos". The single "Paper Tiger"from that cd was Runner Up for Song of the Year (Songoftheyear.com ). From then on, Sue has performed at many of Seattle's most venerable music venues, such as the Tractor Tavern, Conor Byrnes,The Showbox, Sunset Tavern,The Crocodile and in several festivals and showcases including SXSW, Viper Room,NYC's famed Bitter End, and a showcase in Nashville. Sue also performed for 6000 Seattle Storm fans at center court, a definite career highlight!! The most recent album "Little Wildernesses", was recorded with noted producer, Jonathan Plum at London Bridge studios (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Brandy Carlile). Sue is working on new material and excited to get these songs out in the world to do what they can do for the listener- that's the key for her, connection with the listener on emotions and issues we all share from time to time and how we grow from challenges (like pandemics) into who we're meant to be.
