Straw Into Gold has sung harmonies of the soul since 1993. Their repertoire ranges from traditional folk music about weaving to arrangements of contemporary folk songs, to choral-like spiritual music. Members of the group also write original songs with thoughtful lyrics and compelling arrangements.
Regardless of the musical style, the trademark sound of Straw Into Gold is a clear, sweet blend of precise harmonies. They perform both acapella and with their own instrumental accompaniment of autoharp, piano, guitar, and fiddle.
The group performs in handwoven costumes. A woven backdrop inlayed with wheat sets the tone of the performance whether appearing at a festival or in a coffee house setting.

As the Singing Weaver, I strive to use sound, words, rhythm and texture to reach people. I love singing in ensembles because the power of voices joined together is energizing. I formed Straw Into Gold to perform a concert to accompany my weaving thesis show at the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts.
