“Want to hear three totally unique yet complementary out-of-the-mainstream voices? Both in poetry and musicianship, Terry, Becky and Elise defy typical music categories while clearly drawing on folk, rock, jazz and non-western cultural rhythms and melodies. Their trio magically combines the surprising individual sensibility of each of these women who have fearlessly pursued an artist’s drive for self=expression. Want to resonate with notions of responsible connection to other people, nature, and the challenging world around us? Sing along with the deep and delightful songs these women share so soulfully.”


~ Donna Calame, Sunday Concert Series, San Francisco CA

All Singing: The Elise Witt Songbook

58 original songs arranged for solo and community singing

“Elise’s provocative songs ask you to think, to act, to enjoy, to fully engage in life. She invites you to stretch not only your voice, but your expectations and assumptions.”

~ Terry Garthwaite, Joy of Cooking, Natural Rhythms, composer, concert artist

"A beautiful and breathtaking songbook in its variety of wonderful songs, its scope of musical styles and subjects, its accessible and lovely artistic design, and its charming stories about each piece, as well as about Elise's remarkable journey through her musical life. Elise's brilliant artistry shines through these pages!"

~ Joanne Hammil, composer, performer, choral director
