Eighteen-year-old Dylan Cragle is well known for his smooth Micheal Buble sound.  He sings pop, country, adult contemporary and musical theater. He has been singing all over Washington state since he was 10 years old, and traveled to Nashville to record his original songs.

Cragle won the Catch A Rising Star talent competition in 2012, sings the National Anthem at Cheney Stadium and Emerald Downs and is the lead male soloist for the Victorian Country Christmas.

Not only does Cragle have a unique colorful tone to his voice, but a wide vocal range from baritone to soprano. You won’t want to miss your chance to hear this young man perform. Check Dylan out on his Youtube channel name dano465.

Alli Carter is a 14-year-old singer/songwriter from Seattle.  She has been singing all her life, but started training and performing with the Seattle Girls’ Choir when she was seven. She has been part of a kid’s rock band for several years and even had the opportunity to play during two Seattle Storm games, where she also sang the National Anthem.

Since then, Carter has performed at many venues both with the band and solo. This spring, she began taking guitar lessons, which has helped with her songwriting. She began writing lyrics to songs when she was 11, but only recently started to put music to them. Alli also loves to act, and has been part of many local theater productions.

Carter’s family has spent lots of time on Orcas over the years, and it’s one of her all time favorite places.

“The highlight of her summer vacation is spending a week at Camp Orkila,” she said.
