Five musicians coming from diverse musical backgrounds and all contributing to the range of styles heard within our songs. Our first full-length album, Trust Fall, was released in early 2021.

Live Music: Rachael Macquarrie

Seattle-based artist Rachael MacQuarrie is a singer-songwriter combining pop sensibility with folk roots to tell intimate stories driven by evocative melodies. Growing up on Anderson Island, a tiny island in south Puget Sound inhabited more by trees than people, Rachael learned young to let nature animate her music, expressing themes of love, loss, and renewal through metaphors of the natural world. While exploring these complicated personal themes through songwriting, she seeks to keep empathy and self-awareness at the heart of every song. Rachael is currently gearing up to record an album of original songs, threading childhood memories through the never-ending process of growing up.

Ollella (Free Saturday Marketplace)

Ollella's career as a musician started early, when she sang before she could talk. Trained as a classical cellist since the age of nine, the Seattle indie-folk musician merges her technical background with authoritative vocals, live-looping, and improvisation. Described as “really outstanding” by NPR Music’s Bob Boilen and “so tastefully done” by Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast), Ollella blends the acoustic with the contemporary, folk with pop, and tenacity with softness. Her playing has been featured in films screened at Film Festivals such as Sundance and Aspen Film Fest, on recordings with others including Grammy-winning artist Peter Kater, and has shared the stage with popular Americana acts such as the Shook Twins and Rising Appalachia. She finds herself drawn to music because it unlocks a particularly organic flavor of humanity – one that fits the type of world she believes in.
