Bronwyn Edwards
Australian born pianist/singer/songwriter Bronwyn Edwards Cryer says that luring sailors to their watery graves with her haunting
tunes is a thing of the past, as is her nickname "Siren,"
Bron still has a thing for the ocean, though, and has written songs about whales and dolphins. While snorkeling in Maui recently she
became enchanted by the multi-layered whalesong of the humpbacks offshore, audible at a depth of about six feet below the surface.
Accompanied by a large friendly Honu (green turtle), Bron turned cartwheels in excitement while her husband Randy recorded the
Leviathan songs on the underwater camera.
Bron teaches piano, is a composer and arranger, and has been seen schmoozing with Santa while playing her Red Piano at SeaTac
International Airport every Christmas season. Her Red Piano Concert Series has enjoyed a Seattle following, supporting local good
causes as fundraiser concerts. She is currently serving as Music Director at Fauntleroy Church in West Seattle.
Red Piano concerts are family shows, eclectic, energetic, humorous, with audio-visuals and highly entertaining stage camaraderie.
They include a cast of stellar musicians, slide shows and videos, and Bron's students and choir.
Geoffrey Castle
3 of 20
Geoffrey Castle is a pioneer on the electric six-string violin. From his beginnings as a street musician in New York City and Paris,
he rose to play in the Tony Award winning Broadway production of M. Butterfly. A theme of Castle's career is to destroy people's
pre-conceived notions of what is possible on a violin, which he does every time he takes the stage. A bandleader and solo artist—
with several critically acclaimed releases on his own Twisted Fiddle Music label—Geoffrey Castle has also managed to share stages
with an illustrious group of musicians including Blues Traveler, all of the original and current members of Heart, Buddy Miles, and
Alan White of Yes.
Alan White recently tapped Castle to be a member of the All-Star group the White Sox with Bernt Bodal; in this group Castle adds
his violin pyrotechnics to the considerable talents of folks like Spike Edney (Queen), Jamie Moses (Queen, Bad Company), Tom
Bowes (Tower of Power), Eric Bazilian (the Hooters), and many many more.
As a show producer and band leader, Castle loves to bring this wide diversity of musical styles to his high-energy Celtic
Celebrations. With a core band that includes Darin Watkins and Eric Robert, this power trio creates a sound that is as unique as it is
crowd pleasing. (You can see video footage of this trio in action.) Special guests at the celebrations have included Alan White,
Bernt Bodal, Beth Quist (Cirque du Soleil), and award winning Celtic dancers from the Comerford School of Irish Dance, and the
nationally renowned Celtic trio the Gothard Sisters.
Castle's fresh approach to Celtic music is most evident on his latest release Streets of Inwood: Celtic Soul bringing a more urban,
smooth, and bluesy approach to traditional Celtic material. Castle's solo debut, "Mist on the Mountain" was called "A pure,
uncluttered masterpiece" by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. With all the critical acclaim that Castle has received for his recordings, it
is always live performance that continues to be the focus of Castle's career. Trying to capture the energy of the live show has
become a new focus, with a live recording at the beautiful Triple Door theater in the works for 2010.
"Jaw Dropping Rock Violinist" was the headline when a reporter from the Anchorage Daily News happened to catch Castle in
action recently. With his diversity of styles and command of the instrument, Castle has been a favorite performer live on the air on
stations as diverse as KWHL (Hard Rock), KMPS (Country - Seattle's #1 Station), KWJZ (Smooth Jazz), KZOK (Classic Rock),
and many appearances on National Public Radio.
In keeping with the theme of changing the public's perception of what is possible on the violin, Castle has long been an advocate of
community outreach and school performances, inspiring the next generation. School assembly, workshops, and fundraiser
performances like "Keep the Music Alive," and the All-Star Synergia Concert to help support music programs in the schools, are all
part of a genuine desire on the part of Geoffrey Castle to keep music programs alive in what is truly a tough economic environment.
Recently, Castle, along with 400 members of school orchestras in the Seattle area, set a world record for the most string players

under one roof!
Castle is also the only electric rock violinist with his own iPhone App! Developed with PlayVisions corporation, Violin Guy for
iPhone lets you turn your phone into a violin where you can play an assortment of fun Irish and holiday tunes. Just visit the iTunes
App store and search for Violin Guy.
Castle has also been the host of the weekly Monday Night Celtic Night party at Kirkland's Wilde Rover Irish Pub, with his friend
and co-host Dan Connolly. No matter where Castle's tours take him, he always tries to make it back home for the party. Come out
sometime and get your Irish up!
A graduate of Columbia University, Geoffrey Castle lives in Kenmore Washington with his wife Shannon, and has called the state
of Washington home since 1995.
What They're Saying
"On his solo album, Mist on the Mountain, the Seattle violinist offers an eleven-track collection of stunning originals showcasing
his pioneering talent on six-string electric violin. Tapping ancient Celtic melodies and modern pop, rock, and jazz, Castle has
created a pure, uncluttered masterpiece. Among the gems is the ethereal Underhill's Waltz, and a remarkable version of Miles Davis'
All Blues.
—Gene Stout, Seattle Post Intelligencer
"IF YOU MISSED IT, KICK YOURSELF!"
"Seattle's Geoffrey Castle's one-man-band skills had heads bobbing and brought screams of appreciation from the crowd of about
1,000 at the Egan Center."
—Scott Christiansen, Anchorage Press
"Castle moved through the audience like a master magician, casting a spell on all he passed. It was an evening of pure magic."
—Rick Epting, Northwest Arts and Entertainment
"The White Sox All-Star Band was very good. Especially the guy on the fiddle, he was playing so hard and so fast that he went
through bows like they were disposable."
—Tom McKay of Cary, NC
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Benefit Concert

5 of 20
Over the past twenty Five years, the Dickens Carolers have become a local holiday tradition, bringing the joy of the season in song
to thousands each year. Singing throughout the Northwest since 1978, they can assure you a polished, professional performance.
Adorned in elegant Victorian dress, the Dickens Carolers are an acappella group of two ladies in luxurious velvet and two
gentlemen wearing handsome tailcoats and top hats. Your holiday favorites - traditional and popular - are sung unaccompanied in
beautiful four-part harmony. The sights and sounds of the Dickens Carolers is indeed a holiday treat. Where a large company party

The Starlight Carolers
6 of 20
This is an a cappella quartet that serves as a perfect addition to holiday gatherings parties, and special events all year round. A
number of specialized costume styles are available. The group is capable in singing classical and contemporary styles and is
every bit at home in a rollicking cocktail hour as in a poignant celebration of life organized within a grieving family. The time
and space of longer or strolling engagements are more easily handled with holiday selections but all requests are featured and
every effort is made to create what the client is picturing with the a cappella music as an enhancement or focus. Choose from
Traditional Holiday attire or one of our vintage theme costumes appropriate to events all year round.
The singers working within this company are degreed professionals and are auditioned to have voices and musicianship of the
highest caliber.
We can provide the most tasteful classical repertoire upon request and double back and provide a memorable telegram
performance of a Burt Bacharach or Gershwin tune with a presented flower to mark a loved one's promotion at work or a special
anniversary. Early American folk and Spirituals are also a specialty.

The largest Holiday Gift Show in the Pacific Northwest. November finds me in Denver, Salt Lake City, and Vancouver
doing the largest Holiday Gift Shows in those areas. I do Santa for the "Make-a-Wish" foundation, the Marines "Toys-for-Tots",
and too many others to name here. You will see me in numerous parades, around the Puget Sound area, this summer promoting
the Marines Toys-For-Tots. Don't wait to late to call because I book up real fast.
I have been brightening the hearts of children, of all ages, for the past 19 years. My mission is very simple, to bring joy into the
hearts of people, even if it is just for a moment of time. The moment may be fleeting, but the memories can last a life time. I take
the portraying of Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus, very seriously.
Mrs. Claus and I have been married for 46 years. We have two children, four grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Santa Alan
You’d Better Watch Out. This Santa is the real thing! Make your Holiday event come to life when Santa Claus show’s up in
resplendent costume, flowing beard and all the glory of the real Father Christmas!
Wow, where do I start? How about I start by saying that Westlake Center has a new celebrity in our Midst during the holiday
season… You’ve helped take our program up a notch, if not two. Thank you for making “Santa”: such a huge success. Lynn
Beck, Westlake Center, Seattle
What a hit Alan was as our Dickens Santa at the recent client Luncheon. He did such a wonderful job and the lead in with Here
comes Santa Claus was perfect to set the stage. My Client was thrilled with “Santa” Karen L. Waddington, Corporate Events

Eric The Comedy Rocket
15 of 20
“You da bomb” -Weird Al Yankovic
“Engaging, honest and heartfelt– you will love him.” -Louie Anderson
Las Vegas Comedy Festival review:
“Eric... well... I don't know what the hell he did. He joked, he sang, he jumped around, he molested random people in the audience... I
was exhausted just watching him. But the audience thought he was hysterical - and that means he did his job, and exceptionally well, if
the laughs were any indicator.” -Ken Pringle, chucklemonkey.com
High energy comedy for corporate entertainment and comedy clubs. Multi-talented comedian Eric Haines provides a fast-paced and
interactive show full of mayhem, music, stand-up comedy, juggling, unicycling and variety acts. References to the business will be
cleverly worked into the routines. *(Note: the word "cleverly" is debatable.)
Henrik Bothe
16 of 20
Bringing a Conference to the Pacific Northwest?
Pinch yourself! You’ve discovered the one-stop, flat-fee, no-brainer solution for the domestic and international conference planner
seeking quality entertainment that is on time, on budget, and on target.
Domestic or International?
Give your group the gift of a truly international entertainer. Danish born Henrik performs his hilarious and clean physical comedy
show in 1, 2, 3, or 4 languages to make sure everyone is in on the fun. Can you say mass appeal?
Is He Afraid to Fly?
Now working almost exclusively in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, Henrik has performed in four languages, 50
states, and 22 countries since 1984. Staying local allows him to service Seattle, Portland, and surrounding area clients with a truly
international show, at a local price – and he gets to wake up with his family which makes him very happy. And when the performer is
happy, the audience is happy!
When not performing in the Pacific NW, Henrik has appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno, at Ceasars Palace in Vegas,
and even did a guest spot on Garison Keillors A Prairie Home Companion… yes a juggler on a radio show.
So What Does He Do?
He brings audiences to their feet while sharing with them the most powerful of gifts – laughter.
How does he do it? Mix the gentle humor of Victor Borge, the physical agility of Kramer, and the cross-generational appeal of Bill
Irwin and you have some idea of what Henrik Bothe brings to the stage.
He walks on ladders, spins ropes, juggles without using his hands, manipulates fancy hats, and rides a unicycle that’s higher than the
expectations you have for your group’s entertainment program. He walks with 4 legs, escapes from a straight jacket, and blows your
audience’s collective mind as NeonMan – a glowing alien that floats and flies and mesmerizes.
Steve The Pretty Good
17 of 20
Presenting comedy magic that is always fresh, original, clean and hilarious! The venue can be a theater stage, gym floor, in
a banquet room or on the fairgrounds, we tailor the show to be a perfect fit for you and the audience.
Perfect family entertainment! *On stage or a self contained show on the grounds. *Audience participation and plenty of
laughs! *Add the Flying carpet and you get two great shows for the price of one!
Steve Hamilton has been performing his comedy magic show around the world for almost 20 years. Audiences from
Shanghai China to Valparasio Indiana have raved about his spontaneous humor and original routines.
Steve was born in Canada. Soon after his family moved to the United States (Taking Steve with them, of coarse). Steve,
(now fluent in both languages) finished school, served in the Marine Corp, got married, had two beautiful daughters, became
a firefighter/paramedic and… discovered the art of magic.
Learning how to put a show together that would amaze an audience and make them laugh was a journey back to childhood.
And he’s not coming back!
His daughters are now grown-ups, 23 years in the fire service are now just fond memories and the show is better than ever.
The Steve the Pretty Good show takes the classics of magic and gives them a unique and funny twist and then transforms his
audience into hilarious magical assistants. Does someone get sawn in half? You bet. Can he make some one float?
Absolutely. Will people be amazed and laugh, a lot? No doubt about it.
