The reunion of singer-songwriter Teresa Trull and multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, Barbara Higbie, is a long-awaited musical event. Teresa visits from her home in New Zealand to join Barbara as they kick off a national tour supporting the release of their new “Best Of” CD.

Higbie/Trull have enjoyed a devoted national following since they burst onto the music scene with 1983’s “Unexpected” (Olivia Records). Combining gut emotion, technical brilliance and pure joie de vivre, their visceral performances have been called, by the SF Chronicle, “Absolutely magnificent” and “The most exciting musicians we have heard”.

With a Grammy nomination, a Bammy award, a New York Music Award, and a Glama Award between them, and acclaim in The L.A. Times, The Boston Globe, Billboard, People Magazine, The Washington Post , SF Chronicle and Cashbox, they have shared the stage and/or recorded with Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Pete Seeger, Tracy Chapman, k.d. Lang, Whoopie Goldberg, Nancy Griffith, Joan Baez, Cris Williamson, Sheila E, Huey Lewis, Ferron and many others.

Teresa Trull, at age 19, was signed to the pioneering women’s label, Olivia Records. She recorded 5 original albums and is an award-winning producer of over 35 albums. Multifaceted Teresa is also an Olympic level horse trainer, known as the “Horse Whisperer of New Zealand”.

At age 23, Higbie was the first female instrumentalist signed to the iconic Windham Hill label. She has 20 of her own albums and appears on more than 120 albums as a studio musician. Her new solo piano album, “Inspiration” will be released in March 2026.

“A rare appearance by an iconic musical duo- not to be missed!” (East Bay Express)

“Higbie’s presence was like a bolt of bright sunlight” (LA Times).

“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 Oregonian).

Nedra Johnson is a singer/songwriter multi-instrumentalist originally from New York City, now living in Cleveland. Her unique style of guitar playing is unmistakably informed by her many years as a bassist and keeps her live solo acoustic performances more on an R&B tip then what one might expect of a "girl with a guitar." Nedra's self-titled sophomore release was a joyful mix of R&B, funk, rock and gospel. Honest in integrity to the music as well as the lyrical content, each song is a testimony of her experience as a black openly lesbian woman in love, spirituality, community and or politics.
