About the Bands

Together since 2005, The Quadraphonnes 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! The Quadraphonnes have performed at music festivals, clubs, schools, weddings, events, concert halls and live on Radio stations KMHD, KBOO & KQAC. They have collaborated with musicians, visual artists and dancers. They are also on the Miramax filmscore by Mark Orton to The Holdovers 2023!

The Rhythm Dogs, formed in 2000 and based in Portland, play an unusual blend of groove-based jazz, funk, ska, blues, Latin, and Afrobeat. The band is made up of saxophonist Mary-Sue Tobin, trombonist Greg Scholl, keyboardist Chris Azorr, drummer Mark Burdon, percussionist Chuk Barber, and bassist Mark von Bergen. They have recorded four albums of almost entirely originals, the most recent being “The Dogfather” (2018).
