I can perform with a full band or with a single chords player ( guitar or keyboard) depending on the venue's budget. I can perform with my duo group also. It is called Aline & Wes. I have performed in the US as well as Europe. I would prefer to perform in a venue that has its own sound system and sound person. However, I do have sound equipment if necessary. I would charge extra if this must be provided. My style is soulful rock. My music is original. Covers can be included.I have been compared to a range of singers including Joan Osborne, Macy Gray, Phoebe Snow, Betty Davis, and Billie Holiday. I can sing a range of styles. My voice is distinct and has been featured on the tv show "Justified" , because the music supervisor liked its sound. The rate ranges from $400-2000 depending on the size of the band.

LocoMotive is a young trio of alt-rockers bent on fusing rock, alternative, pop and punk into songs that grab an audience's attention and won't let go. Very high-energy, just out to have fun and make people smile. Would be awesome opener for other alt/rock/punk bands, but must be an all-ages show. Check out YouTube channel for more ("LocoMotive98065"). Huzzah!!

Po' Brothers are a perfect fit for upbeat pop-rock or alt-rock shows at outdoor venues or bar-style venues.

Seattle post-punk

Elaine Skeffington is an experienced vocalist who sings from the heart, covering everything from soulful to sultry. Performing in several Seattle-area bands (IvyLane, The TROPICS), Elaine is also available as a soloist for special events & other occasions. Since before she could speak, Elaine has been expressing herself through sound and music. From love to heartbreak to outright joy, performance has always been the language of choice not only to convey but to share these experiences with audiences. "That kid" who just had to appear in every school production from kindergarten through graduation, Elaine first took to dance at the age of 3 1/2 and later pursued drama training, attending classes and several in-depth summer workshops. While studying ballet and jazz for 10 years, it became apparent to her that the music was as compelling as the movement. Piano lessons were first replaced by years of flute, and finally gave way to a focus on vocals. Having found her niche, performance choirs & ensembles, vocal competitions, and plays quickly became the highlight of junior high/high school life, necessarily interrupted by things like studying and attending classes... After majoring in voice/music education in college, Elaine was temporarily distracted by Developmental Psychology and graduate school, a cross-country move, and the joys of motherhood. All the while, her passion for music has continued to burn and she is back with renewed purpose and energy - just ask her and she'll be happy to sing to you about it.

Drop a double-shot of blues into a tall, frosty mug of good ol' American rock n roll and you'll be intoxicated with the sultry vocals and driving, riff-heavy instrumental sounds of Devil on a Leash. Spawned from the muddy depths of the Puget Sound, DoaL has entertained the masses at some of the top venues in the Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia area. After entertaining fans with the unique blues/garage/psychedelic sound of their debut album "Puppet Shadows", bassist Jake Nist, drummer Jeremy Kuntz, and guitarist Ben Stephan were joined by the vocal talents of one of Tacoma's most well-known singers, Voxxy (of Voxxy Vallejo). As a foursome, the band is writing and performing a brand of music that draws from a wide-variety of influences from Pink Floyd and Queens of the Stone Age to Janis Joplin and Tom Waits.
