Kristin Allen-Zito, Guitar-Singer-Songwriter

Kristin Allen-Zito’s songs are finely tuned observations on life and love wrapped up in delicate finger picking and sweetly layered harmonies.

As the lead vocalist for two indie rock bands from Bellingham, Assymetry and the Trucks, scores of Northwest gigs and west coast tours found her on stage with Pedro The Lion, Anna Oxygen, and Death Cab for Cutie. Kristen’s first two albums can be purchased on itunes and she is currently recording her third full length album to be released on clickpop records.

Jan Peters, Singer-Songwriter-Instumentalist

Jan Peters has been playing music and singing songs for about 20 years. Based in Davis, CA, for 13 years or so, there he was a full time musician and vocalist. He also played in several other groups and solo with other groups such as: Clan Dyken, (featured on “Revive the Beauty Way”) Bill Scholer Blues Band, Linda Book and the Dog Eared Pages, The Slaves of Rhythm, and Di Patterson (featured on Di Patterson Sextet: “Live at the Palms.”) Now in Bellingham, WA for the last 12 years, “These Waters” by Jan Peters and The Monday Night Project, is a culmination of all these years and influences. Songs of love and life, this is a sound that one could imagine resulting if Paul Simon and Sting were to write some non-trad bluegrass, blues, and world sounding songs. His other current main project, The Naked Hearts, will be recording soon ~
