notes

Mockingbird is an acappella trio, consisting of Robin Wallbridge, Sherrie Lutsch and Lesley Rigg. They have been delighting audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest for over ten years.

Brewing their songs, both humorous and heartfelt, about daily life (motherhood, coffee, rain, relatives and love), they also sing messages about tolerance, unity, and peace.

Mockingbird's repertoire is broad, crossing genres and generations, covering greats from Lennon & McCartney to Stephen Foster to Joni Mitchell, as well as some wonderfully quirky new tunes of their own. This group is obviously having fun while they sing and they smoothly pass it on to the listener.

    Drenched Review Mockingbird is an a cappella trio featuring three women with great voices: Sherrie Lutsch, Lesley Rigg, and Robin Wallbridge love to sing, and love to help out their community, Bellingham, WA, where they do at least one benefit performance a month. So far they’ve been singing mostly other people’s music (just like their namesake, the Mockingbird, who copies other birds’ songs). Their selection of songs varies widely, a good mix of entertainment and message, from doo-wop to Cherokee melody. Included on this, their first album, is one original, the title piece, “Drenched,” plus “I Will” by Lennon & McCartney, a playful “Don’t Put It In Your Mouth” by Uncle Bonsai, the spiritual Shaker song “Simple Gifts,” “Come Softly To Me” by the Fleetwoods, “Sh’Boom” by the Crewcuts and a marvelous doo-wop song about pancakes. And have you ever heard “The Amoeba Hop?” These women are obviously having fun. You can hear their warmth and friendship. What a delightful album they’ve created. –Jeanette Housner, Victory Review, October 2000
