6/27/26 Havilah Rand havilahmusic.com)
THIS CONCERT IS PAST
Havilah began composing at age six, developing a distinctive, soulful style influenced by artists like Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones, and The Police. She trained in jazz and classical music at the Arts Academy and the Manhattan School of Music in New York City before pursuing songwriting full-time.
“After fronting the Seattle pop-rock band Wish, she launched a solo career, touring for over a decade and performing across Europe before eventually settling in Bellingham, WA. Her genre-blending music, spanning folk, jazz, country, and blues, is marked by expressive vocals and emotional depth.
Her songs fall in that country-rock area, but more like a singer-songwriter with country influences, with her voice a country-fried cross between Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crow with a little Lucinda Williams grit.” (Mac MacDonald, Monterey Herald)

7/25/26 Charles Trafford
If Tom Waits and John Mayall had a love child, it might be Charles Trafford.
One of Seattle’s best-kept secrets, Charles is a recently retired high school English teacher who only began s seriously songwriting in his 60s—but what a start it’s been!
With a bluesy, gritty style, his songs range from deeply personal reflections and observations the struggles of modern-day immigrants to vivid narrative storytelling, including tales of rural bar room robberies gone terribly wrong.
Charles also spices up his performances with uniquely arranged covers, a style his growing fanbase has dubbed “Traffordization.”
Charles does not have a website, but you can find him on Facebook.
8/29/26 Sue Quigley (suequigley.com)
Raised in the nuclear plains of eastern Washington, Sue Quigley stole her sister’s guitar at 13 and began writing songs about escaping her hometown and chasing a different life. After college, stints fighting forest fires, and a bit of heartbreak, she settled in Seattle and began performing at open mics.
Inspired after seeing her friend Brandi Carlile (yes: that Brandi Carlile!) perform, Sue found the courage to form a band and record an EP, followed by her full-length album Perfect Chaos. The single “Paper Tiger” from that album was a runner-up for Song of the Year (SongOfTheYear.com).
Since then, Sue has performed at many of Seattle’s most iconic venues, including the Tractor Tavern, The Royal Room, Conor Byrne Pub, The Showbox, Sunset Tavern, and The Crocodile. She has also appeared at major festivals and showcases such as SXSW, the Viper Room in Los Angeles, New York City’s famed Bitter End, and a showcase in Nashville. A standout career moment was performing at center court for 6,000 Seattle Storm fans.
All Shows: Deb Seymour (Host) (debseymourmusic.com)
Seattle singer-songwriter and concert series host Deb Seymour writes whimsical folk orignals. Her song subjects range form tango-dancing Martians and hitch-hiking chickens to songs of profound loss and the never-ending task of nuturing hope rather than despair in troubled times.
