Deanna graduated from The Hartt School of Music. She first composed a song for the group when she was 11 with her cousin and dad (“Santa Santa”). She continues to be a strong song writer and has great contributions to many of the song-writing rehearsals. While all the girls started on the violin, she continued with her studies the longest, studying with the former chair of The Suzuki Institute of America. She contributes mostly on the drums and violin.

Noelle graduated fourth in her class from Trinity College with a bachelor's in music and math. When in high school, Noelle and Deanna both joined a violin tour group called “Vivace” based in Westport, CT, and cut a CD with the group in 2013. She attended the Greater Hartford Academy for the Arts for a year where she focused on dance. Noelle enjoys competitive soccer games with friends and family and also plays frisbee. She is the most thorough of the girls and is very logical. She is the primary bass player, but also plays violin, guitar and drums.

Tasha is going into graduate school at UCONN for social work. She loves cross-country, and as a passionate singer and writer. She is probably the most emotional with her writing, connecting with her songs on a deep level that is transparent when she sings- she lives in the moment. She wrote the beautiful ballad “Empty Promises” when she was in middle school and it was released on the latest EP “Walk With Me”. Like the rest of the girls, Tasha loves to read and enjoys making book club meetings with her sisters. Tasha and Elise are both in a singing group at their college called Chapel Singers. She plays drums and tambourine primarily, but also plays bass and violin.

Elise loves to blast music in her earbuds and dance all day long, whether it is while cleaning, reading a good book, working out, or walking to class. She has participated in multiple backpacking trips at her college and loves the outdoors. She loves to play frisbee and soccer and is always asking her sisters if they want to go outside or on a hike. She always has a smile on her face and brings a high amount of energy during and outside of rehearsals. She is a double major with math and music at Trinity College. She primarily plays electric guitar, acoustic guitar and bass, as well as violin and drums.

Kathleen is a junior in college and loves to sing. She has a double major in environmental science and music and is in an a cappella group at college and also plays frisbee and soccer. Kathleen is apart of the rock climbing club at college and has gone on many rock climbing trips. She is probably the most easygoing and is the peace keeper among the girls. She can be found many afternoons nestled in a hammock reading a book or going outside on beautiful walks. She primarily plays rhythm and lead guitar as well as bass and violin.
