One Liner: Kiddie music with a Hawaiian and East Asian bent.
Wikipedia Genre: Kiddie

Poster Position: Not on the poster
Weekend One Only. Friday.
Thoughts: Her website shows a pic of her holding a violin on the main page, but it seems like her most popular songs angle more towards the ukulele as the starring instrument. "Let It Come, Let It Go" has a jam band sort of vibe to it. "Sol Nal" and "Akatombo" have a Hawaiian vibe.
Very important sounding bio. She has performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. She double-majored at Northwestern University and then got a Masters at the New School in New York. It seems like she was on her way to becoming a crusader for good causes, but then started making music for all ages, and has been cruising with that ever since. She helped to launch OneBeat, "an annual global music diplomacy program that brings together musicians from around the globe to the U.S. each fall for one month of creative collaboration, performance and engagement with communities."
Two albums - 2012's Rabbit Days and Dumplings and 2020's Unhurried Journey. That first album has some songs not in English as well as a lot more of the East Asia feel. But her top track is from the newer album, "Underneath the Marshmallow Tree." 215k streams.
217 total views of that video. Kinda weird, right? I guess little kids don't YouTube their music as much as TikTok kiddies? Nice little tune though! The lyrics make me think of a jam band singing goofy lines for the dudes on drugs. "ramble through the breeze" ... "and the sound comes alive" - these are straight out of the String Cheese Incident songbook.
