Whimbubble Face and Body Painting

Whimbubble Studio is my small business as an artist and face painter. It’s all the things that I love to make and do, which I like to call my “whimbubbles.” I love to make things and have since I was tiny. First scribbling, then stick figures with triangle shaped dresses. Everything changed when cardboard came into my life. I went crazy over that stuff! My favorite thing to make out of cardboard were candy machines. I would take them to school and the other kids would be totally amazed! That is how I remember it, anyway.

Jet Pack Stereo

There are literally thousands of rock and pop songs in existence and yet it seems its the same handful of songs that are covered by local bands. We carefully focus on building a set list of well-known and loved songs that the average cover band doesnt play, with a few standards included to round it out, all while bringing a fresh twist to your favorite pop and rock songs. Fronted by our dynamic lead singer Kris, tastefully embellished by our lead guitarist Jeff, and tied together by the rock-solid rhythm section of Tanya, Mark, and Ron, you will find our set list of material to be a breath of fresh air that will have you and your patrons coming back to us for more.
