"Mix the tight, intricate harmonies of the Hills, Herdman, Mangsen trio with the
stylistic variety of the Four Bitchin' Babes, then add the zaniness and energy of the
Chenille Sisters.
You've just made Hot Soup!" Sue Trainor,
Christina Muir, and Jennie Avila are Hot Soup! Their sweet, inventive
harmonies on original and collected songs in a variety of styles and rhythms are firm
favorites with the IMT audience.

Terry and Greg have devoted a tremendous amount of their time, energy, and music
to environmental causes and are in great demand by environmental action and education
organizations. Their musical work has supported the work of such notable groups as
National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, the National Wildlife Refuge
System, the National Park Service, and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Earth Day 1998
found them performing at Harpers Ferry National Park where their well-known anthem,
"We Belong to the Earth" was a perfect finale to a speech by President
Clinton.

Nick Annis grew up in South Florida, and has done everything from selling
ice cream from a truck to running a bakery and restaurant to selling kitchens to testing oil
wells. Recently moved to the DC area, he says of his music: " ,EM>James Taylor taught
me to listen, Paul Simon to phrase, Cat Stevens to play, and Robert Pirsig to think.
"
"Nick Annis is quickly gaining recognition for his dry wit, his profound and sincere
lyrics, and a voice that is often compared to James Taylor but with a soulfulness that is
uniquely his own." Laurie Oudin, Main Street Café.
