Colin Patrick Henry Meloy (born October 5, 1974) is the lead singer and songwriter for the Portland, Oregon folk-rock band The Decemberists. In addition to his vocal duties, he plays acoustic guitar, 12-string acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bouzouki, and percussion. As of 2005, Meloy has written a 100-page book on The Replacements' fourth album, Let It Be, released as part of the 33â…“ series.

Meloy was born in Helena, Montana. His sister is Maile Meloy, an author often published in The New Yorker. He first attended the University of Oregon before going to the University of Montana, where he majored in creative writing. He then moved to Portland, where he met future bandmates Jenny Conlee and Nate Query. Prior to being in The Decemberists, Meloy was the lead singer and songwriter of Happy Cactus and Tarkio, both indie/folk bands from Montana.

In early 2005, he embarked on his first solo tour in support of the self-released six-song EP, Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey, which consists of six Morrissey covers. Only 1000 copies of the album were made and they were sold only on this tour. Meloy did a second solo tour in January 2006, playing with Laura Veirs and Amy Annelle. On this tour, he sold an EP featuring covers of British folk artist Shirley Collins. Shows from the 2006 tour were recorded for a live release. - Wikipedia

laura gibson lives in portland, sings songs and plays a nylon-stringed guitar. she is 27 years-old...she grew up in a small isolated logging town in the south coast of oregon, the daughter of the townâ€™s kindergarten teacher and a forest ranger. she was a state champion high-jumper, and went to college on a math scholarship...she couldnâ€™t tell you what band put out what particular album in what year, but she could probably describe where she was, how she felt and what you talked about, when she first met you, or what the trees looked like the last time her heart was broken...she likes trees. laura's musical venturing began in 2004, when she began playing humble shows in Portland (unless you count playing shows at local nursing homes, which she has done for some time). since then, many have been endeared to her voice and her songs. she has performed at many fine establishments, toured the United States by bus, train, plane and car, and has shared the stage with both old folksters and indie kids alike. her music has been championed by NPR, lauded by the New York Times, and featured at show-and-tell in her nephews kindergarten class. she thanks her lucky stars for these opportunities.
