SFS presents an evening of music from accomplished local songwriters Briar, nance!, K Van Petten, and Havilah Rand.
Briar is a singer of vintage jazz, blues, and original music. Blending a powerful voice with stories about the history and origins of her music, she shines a light on singers and tales that have been forgotten by the country that created them. Raised in the small community of Chimacum, WA, Briar uses her music to help explore her unique background as a black woman from the rural Pacific Northwest. Briar teaches for Seattle JazzEd, holds a leadership position with the Rhapsody Project, and is currently pursuing a degree in Environmental Science from Olympic University.

K Van Petten is a musician and poet floating between Seattle and Bainbridge Island. After composing two full-length musicals before graduating high school in Illinois, they spent time as musician in residence at a harbor bar in Chicago while living on a sailboat before relocating to the Pacific Northwest a decade ago with their band. K’s most recent work combines their love for music and poetry into a cassette tape of ambient music and spoken poetry called “For Someone,” made in residence with Centrum in Port Townsend and released on Hello America Stereo Cassette.

Havilah Rand’s musical journey spans five full-length albums from her two decades in the jazz halls of New York City, the alternative rock venues of post-grunge Seattle, and countless coffeeshops and theaters across the US and Europe. Her style fuses jazz, blues, and Americana into groove-infused melodies with poignant lyrics that cut to the heart. Havilah is also the creator of Holistic ArtVentures and The LifeSong Program, which use songwriting as a tool for bolstering empathy, creativity, collaboration, and confidence. She has written songs with hundreds of children and elders and has been nominated for the Esme Barrera Music in Education and Activism Award.
