Stop by and enjoy viewing decorated trees while listening to her enchanting traditional Carols, classical favorites, and light jazz. Legacy pianist, singer-songwriter, composer, recording artist, Elea Plotkin grew up with deep roots in Whatcom County’s South Fork Valley, where she attended Mt Baker High School, parents owned the Everybody’s Store. Elea will take you on a musical odyssey that soulfully weaves together the artists who influenced her music, including Carole King, Billie Holliday, George Gershwin, and the ground-breaking jazz improviser, Keith Jarrett. 

With a passion for classic composers that shaped her technique as well, she’ll often sprinkle in lovely pieces by Chopin and Debussy, giving listeners a lovely mix to tickle any ear.
