Holly Kirsten is a singer/songwriter from Salt Lake City, UT.  She makes herself at home with any stringed instrument and has been composing and performing since she was very young.  

She studied Music Education at Central Methodist College and then, the Business of Music at Belmont University in Nashville.  Holly started Little Rockstars, LLC in 2012 developing and teaching her music classes for preschool kids and their parents/caregivers.  She has over 10 years experience as a Worship Director at 3 different Methodist churches.  

She went back to college in 2018, and while in the throes of Covid-19 became a Registered Respiratory Therapist!  She currently works at a local children's hospital saving lives and helping children to breathe better.  

Holly is thrilled to share her musical gifts and allow the artist, the teacher, and the nurturer within her to fully express and cause a positive shift in her listeners.

Together, they make up the duo known as Everbloom. 

  Chamaigne Sharette began her professional music career while still in high school, as a back-up vocalist for many Seattle folk, rock, and blues artists, including Janis Joplin’s lead guitarist.  In addition to recording projects for these groups, she has worked as a session musician, doing lead vocals for song writer demos and internationally marketed multi-media projects. 

When she moved to Austin to pursue her singing career, Chamaigne found work doing singing telegrams as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, entertaining children as the Fairy Godmother, collaborating with dance troupes as "The Singing Belly Dancer", singing in a Reggae band, and performing at weddings and church services. 

She spent a few years as the lead vocalist in an original world-rock band, and also has a particular love for old-fashioned torch songs.  However, the real love of her life is spiritual music from all traditions.  

Since 2000, Chamaigne has been involved in healing music as a singer, songwriter, Music Director, and creator of music-and-message programs in a variety of contexts including interfaith, New Thought, Christian, Vedic and secular. It is her mission to use music to facilitate healing and harmony. 

 Love, light, and laughter are at the heart of Mandy Lynn’s music. Her performances and compositions run wild though genres as if she were a bee in a field of wildflowers. Her years working as a licensed therapist and activist have left her with a deep dedication to social justice, leading her to write lyrics and melodies that one critic described as “songs that appeal to the heart and mind as well as the ear” (Greg Harness, Rootsworld Magazine).  

Rory Norseth, aka, the No Account Drifter, enjoys putting story to song and performing them for anyone who wants to listen.  

  Michael Bolz hails from Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  

He graduated from Northern Michigan University with degrees in music and psychology.  He plays keyboard, bass guitar and bamboo flute.  He is also a songwriter and arranger, but he is most profoundly recognized for his rich, lyrical basso singing voice.  

Mike has lent his talents to several musical productions as well, where distinctive voice, inherent sensitivity, quick wit and expressive personality really shine. 

 Dallas Brown was inspired...called by the Great Spirit many years ago to learn the Native American flute.  He did just that, working with several masters of these wind instruments over many years.  He discovered a new 'voice' calling to him from within and beckoning from the natural world around him.  Dallas has collected over a hundred native flutes crafted by artisans from many parts of the world.  Dallas has uncovered and unleashed each flute's personality and spirit, and he has intentional 'conversations' with them as he plays.  Dallas's essential goal is to bring 'flute medicine' to every soul and being he encounters through his flute playing and remind them of their connection to the Great Spirit and all of Life.

 DelAnne Haslam was born the youngest of five and at age 3 began performing with the family band The Jessop Family Singers. She hasn’t stopped performing since. She loves to sing all genres of music and has sung in children’s groups, choirs, commercials, operas, plays, sporting events, and bands. But her favorite gig is singing with The Center for Spiritual Living Band every Sunday morning. 

DelAnne was introduced to the Center For Spiritual Living in 2014 when she and her sister were looking to add some spiritual community into their lives. Ric and the band kept them coming back long enough to hear the Science of Mind message and she was hooked. She took the foundations class and a few other courses and then began singing with Kopo on Sundays in 2015. She even spent a few months as music director before she took a much-needed hiatus in 2016. In 2017 Ric invited her back as special music and then invited her to stay on with the band.
