Sari Baker & Jeff Smoller- A native of McKinleyville, Sari is known for her emotive "breakup" compostions, yet she also sings about her love for Humboldt and a humorous look at physical attraction. Whether Sari sings originals or covers, every gig shows a different part of her creativity as a true local, vocal treasure.
Jeff is most comforable as a backup and background musician. He prides himself on knowing (hopefully) when not to play as well as how much to play to highlight the intention and abilities of the vocalist. Jeff says enjoys the backup role because he gets to listen to great music while he does his job.
