This Is Me Sometimes

A Night of Song and Antics with We Are Golden & Friends

2012

A record release party for We Are Golden, a band fronted by Sarah and Gretta Harley. Before the 7-piece band We Are Golden took the stage, both women opened the show with their other musical lives represented.

The poster for the show was designed by art-director legend Corianton Hale with award-winning cartoonist Ellen Forney. Forney’s finger puppets symbolized all the different identities that the two musicians have taken on with respective bands and performances. The title of evening was, This Is Me Sometimes.

Rudinoff did a set with long-time collaborator Nick Garrison and musical director, pianist Chris Jeffries. Garrison and Rudinoff had spent a decade singing and acting opposite each other. They put together a cabaret of songs with a 6-piece band.

Harley showcased her compositions with some of best classical musicians in the city. They interpreted Harley’s instrumental music as well as excerpts from her operas.

Tragically, Nick Garrison died in 2022 and the city’s art community mourned him. You can read a remembrance in the Seattle Times.

A recording of the show was just found and Rudinoff plans on releasing the set she did with Nick, Chris Jeffries and company. Stay tuned.
