This band is new on the Vancouver/Portland acoustic music scene, but together these women have decades of experience playing and singing in harmony. Misty Mamas serve up beautiful harmonies and tasty instrumentals combining the American genres of bluegrass, folk and country music.
Carol Harley: (Vancouver, WA) lead and harmony vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin & ukulele
(for booking and additional information, Email Carol at: carol@mistyriverband.com). Currently, she is a founding member of the popular Portland/Vancouver acoustic Americana band, Misty River. Carol is a multi-instrumentalist and provides solid rhythm playing and tasteful creative leads - the result of nine years of practice and training in the bluegrass style. Carol's soulful low alto voice adds depth, heart and character to the mix.
Katherine Nitsch: (Vancouver, WA) lead and harmony vocals, guitar, bass & ukulele.
As a multi-instrumentalist, and a student of bluegrass for the last 8 years, Katherine supplies dependable solid rhythm for the band. Her rich lead voice and stunning vocal harmony arrangements provide distinctive qualities to The Misty Mamas.
April Parker: (Portland, OR) lead and harmony vocals, mandolin and accordion.
April's strong pleasing lead voice anchors the harmonies of many of the band's bluegrass songs. Her mandolin's precise, yet graceful leads and solid chops keep the energy up through the popular bluegrass songs.
Eileen Rocci: (Vancouver, WA) lead and harmony vocals and upright acoustic bass.
Eileen's current musical interests include performing with her church music ministry as well as singing and playing bass with her husband in a local bluegrass band called Northwest Passage. Her extraordinary attention to detail helps define the Misty Mamas song arrangements as first class.
