Days of Light 2023 – Cedar Dreamer & Mountain Holler with Traesti Darling

Bellingham locals Traesti and Alexandra (fka The Living Arrows) perform as the acoustic duo Traesti Darling. Their music, influenced by folk, jazz, and pop, defies genre and captivates audiences of all ages.

Traesti Darling brings lyrical journeys to life with enchanting harmonies and toe-tapping rhythms that tend to cause listeners to dance, sing, laugh, and cry. The weaving of their voices has been compared to Simon and Garfunkel, but their poetry has a soul-enlivening quality entirely its own. Their original songs are carried by catchy melodies, emotional depth, and a unique flair that will keep your ears piqued, your heart open, and your soul eager for more.

Mountain Holler is the deeply whimsical cavernous alt-folk project of Seattle, WA based musician Mark Etherington. Each song is a meditation on nature, the shadowed side of our human experience in this realm and the dream-music of Etherington’s explorations through his own mind. We must also mention the heavy influence from Tolkien lore. These explorations are transcribed and projected using acoustic guitars in unusual, alternate tunings, live-looped drones and haunting vocals layered that provides the listener an invitation to glimpse into one human’s experience of this world and our shared nature.

Cedar Dreamer is the solo project of Alexander Freilich. Since 2014, Cedar Dreamer has been creating reverent ambient music that looks to the cycles, shapes, and sounds of the wild Earth for a never-ending well of inspiration. Devoted to deepening human-nature connection through music, Cedar Dreamer strives to create spaces, both sonic and physical, for deep journeys of the heart and mind.
