Folks in Seattle know Whitney Mongé’s music. She started her West Coast career in 2008, busking in Pike Place Market. Her raspy, sultry vocals are reminiscent of Melissa Etheridge and Tracy Chapman. The Bainbridge Journal said there’s “a sharp edge running through both her guitar chords and vocals, resonating qualities of Janis Joplin.” Don’t miss the opportunity to hear this young, fresh songwriter.
