About Us
The ingredients in Smorgaschord were originally sprinkled together in a larger singing group, Peninsula Harmony Chorus. Sounds were mixed, recipes imagined, and a new small group was baked in early 2001. Current members are Bill Anderson, Larry Hamel, Alexandra Langston, Patti Schank, Mia Whitfield, and Harold Zable. We rehearse and gig on the San Francisco Peninsula.
Former Smorgaschord members include Valerie Rose (with Gallowglasses), Jen Gill (with The Outer Half), Bill Martin, Mike Pogue (with Curious Blend), and Brooke Yool.
