The Tatters
After playing together in various groups over the years, three vocalists
from the Central coast of California have teamed up with three of
the busiest, most talented musicians to create this fun, energetic
group known as The Tatters. Mary Z. Wilson, Erika Harding
and Jennie Snyder formed the group, named for the dying domestic
art of hand-tatting or lace making in November of 1998. All three
women sing both lead and backup vocals, allowing for flexibility
of vocal style and range within the trio which features tight, balanced
harmonies. Dan Wilson, Bill Flores and Jack Joshua joined The Tatters
to form and incredible back up group affectionately known as The
Lowly Sideman. The versatility of these musicians allows the
group to weave a tapestry of sounds together throughout their performance.
A love of roots music with a pure, old-time flavor brought this
group together. Their sound has been described as simple but powerful
vintage Americana. The Tatters' styles range from Bluegrass to Western
Swing, to Hawaiian, gospel and folk music. Consisting mostly of
original work by principal songwriter Mary Z. Wilson, with additional
songs contributed by Jennie Snyder, Erika Harding, Billy Flores,
and Orest Balaban, The Tatters deliver a dynamic and personal live
performance.
