Magic seemed to surround us as as the three able women of Mockingbird sang selections from their new CD, a second album called rightfully so "Magic was Everywhere"  These ladies have a real ear for their sound.  What volume, great songs, beautiful harmony.  One could feel their voices inside your body, as they matched their voices to the room's  acoustics.  "Oh what a night." We wished all our friends in Skagit county could have been here.

  House Concert:  Mockingbird

Mockingbird is an a cappela trio (Robin Wallbridge, Sherrie Lutsch and Lesley Rigg) based in Deming in Whatcom County that has been delighting audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest for over eight years.  Brewing their own songs, both humorous and heartfelt, about daily life (motherhood, coffee, rain, relatives and love), they also sing messages about tolerance, unity, and peace.

Admit it: we’re all suckers for a cappela.  Creativity with the unaccompanied voice is the purest expression, and moves and touches things deep within us. Perhaps for that reason a cappella performances are, more than most genres, best enjoyed live.  The harmonies are beautiful but edgy rather than lush, and the arrangements keep the music moving by changing tempos and spotlighting different members, not through startling interjections and techno-scat. –Tom Petersen review of We3, Victory Review, September 2004

 Mockingbird is an a cappella trio featuring three women with great voices. Their selection of songs varies widely, a good mix of entertainment and message, from doo-wop to Cherokee melody.  These women are obviously having fun. You can hear their warmth and friendship. –Jeanette Housner review of Drenched, Victory Review, October 2000
