Molly Bauckham has been singing since childhood and playing harp since 1998.  Her repertoire is primarily traditional Celtic songs and harp tunes, but also includes a variety of classical and contemporary music.  In 1993, she won First Prize Vocal and Grand Prize Overall in Hawaii’s statewide Brown Bags to Stardom talent competition.  Molly also provides bedside music in therapeutic and healing settings.  She also has a background in theatre arts.  When not performing, Molly can be found slinging harps and dulcimers at Fremont’s legendary Dusty Strings Acoustic Music Shop.

Dinas o Frain, “The City of Crows,” a local group with repertoire in traditional Welsh dance music, has entertained in pubs, coffeehouses, weddings and other private functions.  They have played at many local Welsh events, most notably Seattle’s annual St. David’s Day celebration and the Black Diamond Welsh Heritage festival and have performed for several years at the Northwest FolkLife Festival.  In the past, members Laura Lovell on bouzouki and fiddle with Kevin Gow on flute, whistle and concertina have performed with many fine musicians, but are pleased to announce a new permanent member, Motter (Mo) Snell, harpist.  The harp adds a deep dimension to Welsh music creating a pleasing musical blend, interweaving spirited dance tunes and elegant arrangements to the dance tunes and songs of Wales.
