Artist description The ButterCups are one of Seattle's most promising "Up and Coming" bands. They appeal to a broad range of appreciative audiences. The band's European lead vocalist/keyboard player, Brigitte, was educated in Germany and Spain. She has traveled widely and thus brings rich depth of life experience to her lyrics. Her daughter, Elizabella, shares the lead vocals and accompanies the band on rhythm guitar. In addition, they are joined by the outstanding musical talents of Mac Maccree (MacDaddy) on drums and Jimmy "Jimbo" Charles on bass. The ButterCups can spin a romantic ballad or rock out with the best.
