NATURAL RHYTHMS

Becky Reardon ~ Terry Garthwaite ~ Elise Witt

Imagine Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Annie Ross and Edith Piaf taking a turn from Barbara Kingsolver and Dr. Seuss and you’ll have some idea of these mad and moving musical adventures!

Whether it’s a plaintive cry for families at the border, a polyrhythmic improvisation on the physics of sound, an anthem to the preservation of wild rivers and oceans, or a musical ride on the love train, Terry, Becky & Elise cook from the minute they hit the stage. Bringing three radically different voices to the blend, their voices find each other in that mysterious world of harmony in diversity. The trio’s concerts are also famous for getting the audience singing, and even self-professed “non-singers” find themselves part of an Impromptu Glorious Chorus™.

"Singing the Inspiration of Ossabaw was a complete reset for mind, body and soul. The island, the music, the group, the food, the expertise of our on-island guide, and the skill of Gayanne and Elise to bring us together all combined to make a beautiful and unforgettable weekend."
