The reunion of singer-songwriter Teresa Trull and pianist/singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Barbara Higbie, was a long awaited musical event. Their collaborative joy is at once irresistible, irrefutable and engagingly quirky. Musically they range over a terrain that varies from blues and gospel to folk, rock , jazz and championship fiddle playing. They have shared stages with Tracy Chapman, k.d. Lang, Whoopie Goldberg, Nancy Griffith and Ferron among others. Combining gut emotion, technical brilliance and pure joie de vivre Trull and Higbie are a musical force to be reckoned with and thoroughly enjoyed.

Teresa Trull is a fiery haired vocal dynamo who combines a gutsy blues/rock style, topnotch songwriting talents and sharp producing instincts in her many high energy projects. She has made five of her own recordings, including two successful duo pairings both with Higbie and with Cris Williamson (Country Blessed 1990). An accomplished producer of over 30 albums, Trull was named the Best Producer of an Independent Album at the New York Music Awards. She has performed and shared stages with Sheila E., David Sanborn, Joan Baez and many others. "Teresa Trull is absolutely magnificent." (San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner)... " Trull's truly expressive voice projects a clear pure soprano and drops an octave below to achieve an equally clear strong alto...especially humorous...Her stage presence was always needle sharp... a world of talent." ( The Sunday Oregonian)
