Passionate about the saxophone, its characteristics and possibilities, The Quadraphonnes are adventurous!

These strong, talented, ladies break the boundaries of the saxophone quartet with their mighty chops, tantalizing grooves, soaring solos and dynamic vocals. Covering a variety of musical styles from jazz-funk-pop, to avant-garde, gypsy-punk and classical, the quads put on a great show!

Together since 2005, they have released multiple albums & have performed up and down the West Coast. Mary-Sue Tobin, Chelsea Luker, Mieke Bruggeman and Michelle Medler are multi-talented, beautiful women who are serious musicians, composers and arrangers! The Quadraphonnes will blow you away! Drummer Maria Wulf travels from Olympia, Washington to add groove and texture to the group!
