About Olas

After a 7-year hiatus, we return to the stage with 3 new young members who were born into the band, listening and absorbing the sounds and movements from a young age. We welcome Kaya Teret (13 years old, performing dance, voice and palmas), Aleta Krajewski (10 years old, performing voice and palmas) and Suzanna Angie-Sutherland (9 years old, performing voice and palmas). We are so proud of each; they are beautiful and brave young artists.

Who are the rest of us?

  • Molly Angie – palmas, voice

  • Lindsey Bourassa – dance, palmas, voice

  • Anna Giamaiou – palmas, voice

  • Megan Keogh – dance, palmas, voice

  • Leif Sherman-Curtis – guitar, voice, palmas

  • Chriss Sutherland – lead vocals, guitar, palmas

From years past, here are a few articles to give you insight into what Olas is all about:

“Lindsey Bourassa is someone who commands your attention and admiration in the most endearing and honest way. As a teacher she is clear, kind, focused and attentive. As a performer she is fierce, beautiful, strong and intriguing. As a human she is simply as good as they come. I highly recommend Lindsey Bourassa!”
