After seven years leading a jazz sextet and performing both internationally and throughout North America, Miller now focuses his efforts on a different kind of songwriting and storytelling. His passion, voice and laid-back demeanor create an intimate connection with audiences far and wide. With an affinity for minimalist pop and firm roots planted in American traditional music, Jacob crafts a timeless sound unique to his voice, style and abilities. In 2020, Jacob was also a featured performer on NBC’s The Voice; working with Nick Jonas and James Taylor.

Furtado and Schneiderman don’t often perform together as they have thriving solo careers. Stephanie began with a coveted spot in the Lilith Fair. From there, she went on to receive extensive NW radio play, tour internationally, and earn music placements in numerous films and primetime TV shows, including Felicity, Vampire Diaries and many more. Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who has performed throughout the world at top venues and appeared at such prestigious music festivals as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Jazz Aspen, Kerrville Folk Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Sisters Folk Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival and countless others. Since the onset of the pandemic, the two have been streaming live concerts from their living room.

Concert seating will be on a first come/first serve basis for groups up to six, and there will be designated “pods.”
