Abby Hebert

Abby is a musical nurse.

What does that mean?

Basically she can save your life with her voice.

We’re not even joking.

Abby sings and plays the keys.

Havilah Sciacca

Havilah began singing the same time she thought she wanted to be a dinosaur which was approximately the age of 4. She began playing the piano the age that two phonebooks were just right for reaching the keys, which was approximately the age of 7. She learned what those weird shapes called musical notes were approximately at the age of 11. At the age of 26, she’s forgotten how those weird shapes worked, but has embraced the joy those two phonebooks evoked. She likes pretentious beer about as much as she likes music, and well…..when the two are together..that’s just harmony.

Keith Gray

My name is Keith Gray and I play piano and bass guitar. I have been playing the piano since I was 3 and the bass since around age 14. As a senior Accounting major at Birmingham-Southern College I try to play as much music on the side as possible and would like to continue to do so after graduation this spring. I am in a band called “Moose” that plays locally on college campuses and bars in Alabama but am always looking to play with other musicians, as well as experiment with other styles of music.

Mollie Garrigan

A native Kentuckian, Mollie Garrigan, moved to Alabama in 1993 to finish a degree in Music Technology at UAB. Growing up as a church musician fostered in her a love for singing in both supportive and lead roles. She has taken the stage as both countless times, locally and regionally (most notably at acclaimed Nashville songwriter showcases, including hosting her own rounds at the Bluebird Cafe). You can hear her voice on several artists’ projects including, Stuart McNair, Eric Peters, Kendra Sutton and Red Mountain Music.

Mollie is a songwriter, piano teacher/performer, and supporting guitarist.

Many Sunday mornings you can join her in song at her home church, Shades Valley Community. Look for Mollie in Black & White and Birmingham Weekly for performance schedule.

Nicole McLean

Born in the deep South in Mobile, Alabama, Nicole has been involved in music since she was a child. She came from a family that continually had records playing and/or instruments resonating throughout her home. At the age of 14, she broke away from playing classical piano and began to study more contemporary forms. It was then that she realized the beauty and art of writing and composing. Since then, she has written a collection of songs that she has been performing since age 18. Now at age 22, her inspiration for her music comes from her spiritual life, encounters with people, and the human condition, in general. Her goal when she plays for whomever may be listening, would be that he or she would enjoy it as much as she enjoys performing it and also begin to connect with something greater than themselves…and in an effort to make this a little less serious, her favorite food is macaroni and cheese…bringing that to a show that she performs in would make you her best friend.

Sam Boyers

Sam was introduced to good music around the same time he first grew a beard, at age five. Since then, he has played piano, baritone trumpet, guitar, bass, djembe, synth keyboards, and so on… He takes great pride in the fact that he has never played his guitar around a
campfire or outside while sitting on a blanket in a grassy lawn, which makes him better than any male who has. Not a spotlight-stealer, he likes to make music with others, and enjoys it most in that setting.
