Krista Webb
Krista Webb has always loved music, starting with singing along to her parents' Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Carpenters, and Seekers records when she was very young, moving on to purchasing her own John Denver and Sha Na Na records when she was a teen, and finally discovering Crosby, Stills and Nash, Joni Mitchell, The Grateful Dead, Bruce Cockburn, and The Indigo Girls in college. After an eight-year stint in Alaska, Krista moved to Poulsbo, Washington in 2000. She started playing guitar in 2018, in order to play along with her kids at bluegrass festivals and family camp jams. But it was the upright bass that really caught her attention, and for the past few years, she’s been providing the bass line for area musicians. Krista plays live with The Harmony Wombats and The Melody Meerkats, as well as participating in Bluegrass jams with local musicians.

Since those days, Larry has performed music from many genres including folk, pop, rock and roll, and the blues. His personal setlist includes music from singer-songwriters like John Prine, Townes VanZandt, Guy Clark, and more contemporary artists such as Iron and Wine, Bahamas, and Mark Knopfler.
