West Seattle Fiddler Dawn Hepburn violinist “I played violin as a child and am grateful for a classical foundation including many years of Bach. Bluegrass taught me how to collaborate and read the room; Irish taught me how to keep time! Family tragedy taught me the power of fiddling in an ICU setting. Music volunteering has taught me joy.” (Washington Management)

Vightingale “I have busked for several years at Pike Place Market & performed in other spaces as well I would love to be able to play music at an event like yours! I call myself Vightingale because one of the features of my act is whistling, but I also play Harmonium (a lap instrument like an organ with bellows you play from the back), Ukulele, sing (often wordlessly) kazoo, & I use shakers on my feet for some rhythm. I have a lot of fun playing & people seem to enjoy what I do.” (Homebridge)
