Lauralee
Northcott is the "mighty little" bass player and one third of the Horse Crazy vocal sound. With over 20 years of experience, she guides and cooks for Early Winters Outfitters in Washington state. Lauralee has written a book entitled "Tales and
Trails of the Pasayten Wilderness" featuring interviews with 50
people who have spent extensive time in the wilderness - spanning
almost 70 years of personal narratives.
For over 4 years, she hosted the Dollar Watch Cowboy Show, a
radio program airing in North Central Washington featuring cowboy
music, cowboy poetry, true stories and tall tales. Lauralee is a professional
musician with a BA in music, emphasizing in folk music. She is an accomplished
writer, educator, songwriter, and long-time lover of western music. Her

Emele Clothier plays the rhythm
guitar, banjo, and harmonica and provides one third of the beautiful vocal harmonies for Horse Crazy. She
brings folk, jazz, blues, country, rock and classical styles to the
music. She is a ranch manager for one of the largest guest ranches
in the Methow Valley. While caring for 25 horses, a fully producing
ranch and hosting groups from all over the world, Emele still finds
time to devote countless hours to western music. As a
singer/songwriter, and performing artist, she says that she dreams
music and awakens each day singing a song in her head. Since
childhood, vocal harmony with guitars were her favorite musical
blend. Western music lends itself to all of this with her touch of
jazz in the swing tunes. Her rhythm, unique style and great voice
will surprise you - no matter what kind of music is your favorite.
Jennifer Epps
is the percussionist, harmonica player and one third of the vocal harmony for Horse
Crazy. Jennifer works as a part-time ranch hand in the Methow
Valley. If she isn't chasing cows on horseback for the
neighbors - she is busy working on her own ranch, caring for her
horses, dogs and cats. She loves music and knows how to bring the
audience with her into the truly wonderful world of western music.
Jennifer works as a guide and wrangler in the Pasayten Wilderness in
the summer time. This cowgirl loves horses and the western
lifestyle. She is just as much at home in a cook tent in the
mountains as she is in her own living room.
