Anna
Sharp and sensitive as a sliver of moonlight, Anna knows how to make vocal harmony really groove.
Having a steadfast and wicked sense of pitch and time, she does justice to any song. Loves rootsy blues and slow mornings. Also performs with Juurakko and Anna and Klaus.

Pi
Blessed with common sense for all of us, Pi cuts to the chase and keeps it together in times of high pressure. With a degree in Music Technology she knows how to get the best sound from any setup. This SoulMama ties everything together with her warm, flexible, honey sound. Plays the flute and loves to experiment with electronica. Runs her own music residence with Fairres Air.

Heidi
Lights, action and music!
The best part of any performance is when you connect with the audience and scoop them up on the magic carpet ride that is music. As a proud bibliophile and with a profound love of musicals, Heidi adores the taste of words and the stories they tell, especially when text joins forces with song. You can also find her directing choirs or performing with Arosa Ensemble and in musical theatre, 2022 in Kinky Boots and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
