Tricia’a style is rooted in the musical diversity of the 60's. She grew up outside of San Francisco where she studied classical voice, soloing in churches and local theater productions, at the same time singing with a folk group in coffee houses on Stanford and Berkley campuses and wine and cheese joints in the city. After winning a voice scholarship to BYU, Tricia soloed with her guitar at Robert Redford's Sundance resort for over a decade as well as singing with BYU’s top choirs, Program Bureau, and a funky home-grown rock band.
Tricia was the first singer-guitarist to solo in a BYU Devotional, and has been a featured soloist on Utah’s stages from Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City to Tuacahn Amphitheater in Saint George, as well as singing across the US and Europe.
Tricia recorded her first LP in a Christian church in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1977 as a demo for a small microphone company. Since then she has recorded five other projects. Among these projects it is of note that Tricia recorded the first L.D.S. hymn album made by a singer-guitarist, completed in the late 1970’s. She has also starred in the musical production Take the Mountain Down as shown on PBS.
With a life full of high adventure, Tricia has worked in corporate America, in remote mountains and jungles on five continents and raised four sons to manhood. The breadth of her life experience gives depth and richness of her music.

My growing-up Christmases were filled with music on the stereo, piano, sax, recorder, guitar and in the voices of my parents and siblings. There were carols in schools, stores, parties, churches and community centers; and even in the neighborhood as we neighbors sang to each...
