Matt Yetter - one of the most talented guitarists and mandolin players in the area.  He is featured on both of Tauring's CDs and plays regularly with her all over the mid-west and in the past four years of Winter Solstice ritual shows.

Kip Overbo - has been playing music in the area for two decades.  Skillful at strings and percussion as well as vocals, he is inspiring to hear.  He has played music with Kari ranging from impromptu performances at the local park to two years of Winter Solstice involvement.

Kari Tauring - The "High Priestess" of the ritual show has been playing original music in the Midwest for 15 years.  The success of "A Yuletide Celebration" has propelled her into performance, teaching, and writing opportunities throughout the Twin Cities.  Her work has inspired an upcoming radio documentary on Art and Religion and had moved her to create more shows like "A Yuletide Celebration" and "Remembering Valentine."
"The Process of Discovering Origins/Building Traditions has been incredible", Tauring says.  "As modern culture we are presented with a series of holidays, a set of expectations go with them, and then a series of products designed to meet those expectations.  At the end of it we are supposed to feel good, full of meaning.  And if we don't?  Well, we didn't buy the right stuff and we will try to purchase better next year.Through these shows I have learned so much about where and why these holidays originated.  In the process of re-presenting these mostly agricultural rituals based on the astronomical events of   Solstices and Equinoxes and the "cross quarters" or the points between them, I have found so much meaning for this modern urban existence."
