Jillian Raye does vocals, banjo and guitar for Giants in the Trees. Originally from California, Raye brings a keen sense of vocal phrasing to her strong singing style. She also created and performed all of the rich harmony vocals on the album. Erik Friend is also a former Californian. Moving to Seattle to work for Microsoft, Friend is a true techie. He too found his home, off the grid, in Wahkiakum. His musical talents go beyond percussion to include mandolin and other acoustic string instruments. He also record- ed the band’s album at the Murky Slough studio. It took a year of playing, experimenting, and fun times for Giants in the Trees to compile their twelve-song record. There is definitely an Americana feel -- it comes together through the various skills individual members bring into the work. Novoselic rocks the accordion and bass. Prestegard brings mastery of six and four string instruments. Raye plays six-string banjo, does bass guitar duty, and drives the sound with top vocal chops. Friend loves to lay down a groove.
