Hopscotch is the songwriting and performing duo of Jeanie Mishler and Charlie Hiestand. After working together on various projects for many years, they decided to get serious and start playing jazz. Most of their material is original, and they have two CDs to prove it.
Inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Blossom Dearie and Pink Martini, Jeanie Mishler's vocal chops are well suited for the jazz tradition. She blends her smooth tone and quirky humor into her singing and songwriting, to the enjoyment of audiences all around the Northwest.
Charlie Hiestand, composer, pianist, bass player, producer, choir director, and all-round music guy has offered his prolific talents to numerous bands and music/choral groups up and down the West Coast. Currently living in Seattle, he collaborates in continual music making, composing, and producing with many local musicians.
