Marlyce (Martens) Gundy and Sharon (Sawatsky) Schermbrucker began singing classical and folk duets in their teens. After a long hiatus, they reunited to form the chamber group Beauty in the Blends, which has performed across the U.S. and Canada. Meanwhile, Marlyce married Jeff Gundy, and they played and sang folk music as a duo.
As the folk trio Rendezvous, Marlyce, Sharon, and Jeff now bring their close harmonies to tunes by Kate Wolf, the Wailin Jennys, Dave Carter, Old Crow Medicine Show, and others, with all three on vocals and Jeff on 6- and 12-string guitar.

Shekinah |

Shekinah is an independent female singing group, based in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The group originally formed in the fall of 2004 and has been providing music for numerous church services and local events in the Harrisonburg area, and also throughout Virginia and Pennsylvania, since then. Shekinah's repertoire includes a variety of music including folk hymns, spirituals, classical church music, and secular pieces. Although each member has her musical roots in the strong tradition of Mennonite singing, a variety of unique interests and numerous cross cultural experiences contribute to the diversity of this ensemble and the music they choose to sing. |

Wendy Chappell-Dick |
| http://www.mennofolksonggirl.com/ | |
| For Wendy, making music is thoroughly woven into relationships. Compared by some to Kate Wolf for this combination of friendship, folk style and heartfelt melody, Wendy chooses her songs like quilt squares, her music partners gathered round the table for so much more than music. Her tools are a cello, guitar, dulcimer, hymnal, and a stock of over 1000 tunes by memory. Wendy calls herself an evangelist, an activist and an enthusiast of music that comes from the cradle of the Mennonite church. Her music is at home at protests, coffeehouses, living rooms, churches, woods and cabins. She is active in all genres especially including children's, celtic, classical, choral, a capella, historical folk, and 80s rock and roll. |
