FAMOUS GROUSE - EP Release January 2022!
Elizabeth Steen and Jude Heichelbech sing and play accordion, keys, bass, cello, guitar, vibes and percussion. They write songs about their hangups and make barbed remarks to cheer each other up, all while trying to observe grammatical rules as daughters of English teachers have done throughout time. Click on the picture to listen to the new 3-song EP, self titled "Famous Grouse". "Broke the Mold" and "Make Too Much" written and sung by Elizabeth Steen "Party" is written and sung by yours truly, Jude Heichelbech.
Engineered by Michael Barry
Mixed by Huck Bennet
Drums by Dave Mattacks
Guitar on "Make Too Much" by Duke Levine
Thank you all!

BITTERS
Bitters was the name of my first* band from 2006-2019. Originally a trio with a wonderful vibraphonist (see below), we transitioned to a pop and improv duo with Dave Geller on Drums, percussion and Handsonic and Jude Heichelbech on keys, vocals, glockenspiel and cello.
I have also had the distinct pleasure of guesting on other musicians' efforts. Here are some links to those.

*Well, not really. The first band I had the pleasure of joining was "After Hours", a cover band with my high school boyfriend (Shawn Hafstrom, Guitar) and the rest of my gentlemen friends (Mark Stuart, Tim Duvall, Joe Ingram, Brian Cook). We played a dance at a school once, I think. It was the "Clapton, Dan Fogelberg, Journey, Who" era. Good times. Thanks, Gents.
