Though she has strayed far from where she was planted, violinist, vocalist and composer Carla Kihlstedt has strong roots in classical music. She studied at the Peabody, the San Francisco, and the Oberlin Conservatories of Music, but since then has stretched her experience of music far beyond the classical stage. She is a founding member of the groups 2 Foot Yard, Tin Hat (originally Tin Hat Trio), and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. 2 Foot Yard (www.2footyard.com) is an intimate trio whose purpose is to explore and expand their ideas of song-writing.
