[Bios]

We are the brother and sister duo, Priscilla Brito and Ruben Brito, of Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Priscilla has been singing since she was crawling. Growing up she sang at church (and still does), and at a handful of school musicals.
She enjoys listening to The Sundays, Regina Spektor, Stars, and Madame Recamier. She is known for watching anime and learning whatever language is
spoken.

Ruben started out playing the piano as a kid then... time travel 7 years....after taking music classes in college picked up with the guitar his freshman year. He spent a lot of time attending folk shows at Worcester Polytech Institute and was heavily inspired by Don Conoscenti, Christopher Williams, Ellis Paul, Antje Duvekot, and Erin McKeown. He enjoys listening to Jimmy Smith, Animal Collective, A Tribe Called Quest, Iron and Wine, and Panda Bear. Ruben loves his wife Alyssa and 2 kids Maya and Max and enjoys singing and dancing with them. He also loves growing tomatoes, pumpkins, potatoes and a variety of other fruits+veggies in his 15'x17' garden.

Together they've played at open mics, local folk festivals, Starbucks, and a handful of Coffee Houses. Currently this band is not together, but because they are family they still work on songs when they get free time.
