LOGAN SHEVALIER | ARTISTIC DIRECTOR | HE/HIM
Logan Shevalier, a native of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, grew up singing in choirs and now directs several groups in the Spokane area. He is an accomplished classical vocalist and director, and has performed as a recital soloist and in opera choruses, with repertoire ranging from Puccini to Britten. In 2021, he served as assistant director to his university’s a cappella choir.
Logan received his Bachelor of Arts in Music from Austin College in Sherman, TX, and has studied under Andrea Olsen, Wayne Crannell, and Scott Rednour. In addition to directing Spectrum Singers, Logan also directs music ministry at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and is the Music Director of Lilac City Voices, a mixed barbershop ensemble in Spokane Valley. Logan has two cats (Henry and James), a jungle of houseplants, and is overjoyed to be making music that makes a difference.
MAURA KEGLEY | ACCOMPANIST | SHE/HER
Maura Kegley found her niche for accompanying choirs in fifth grade. She continued on with North Central High School switching from choir to jazz band in her senior year and accompanied various musical plays with director Tom Armitage. She went on to Eastern Washington University for her music degree, studying under Dr. James Edmunds and Dr. David Rostkoski. She studied classical music in her early years from Carl Leuer, who studied under Stojowski, a student of Paderewski. She also studied jazz from Spokane legend Arnie Carruthers. Currently she plays at Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane, accompanying their choir and Sunday services. She adores her husband, Dan, and her two sons, Ian and Eric. She has been with Spectrum since its inception, and is honored to be the accompanist for such an amazing group.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
KRYSTELLE BRICE | PRESIDENT | SHE/HER
Krystelle is a born-and-raised Washingtonian who’s lived on both sides of the state — because why settle for just one kind of rain? She’s an author and spiritual life coach with a passion for helping people tackle their medical hurdles like the boss battles they are. She joined the choir in Fall 2024 and got hooked — now she’s in it for the long haul. When she’s not coaching, writing, or harmonizing, Krystelle can be found hanging out with her husband, stepdaughter, and two overly enthusiastic Australian Shepherds who think they run the house.
CARA F. | VICE PRESIDENT | THEY/THEM
Cara F. is Spokane-born-and-raised and a graduate of Whitworth University. Cara first joined the choir in its ramp-up 2022 spring season and has enjoyed seeing the choir come back to life after the COVID-19 pandemic. Outside of choir, they enjoy DIY projects, gardening; fiber crafts including sewing, knitting, and Tunisian crochet; and attending local artists’ events.
DAVID LENZ | EVENTS DIRECTOR | HE/HIM
David Lenz has been a Spokane choir kid since the 80’s in both Garry Middle School and Rogers High School. He continued in college starting a Vocal Education degree in San Diego. But life (and children) happens and after 30+ years of food service and retail management where the hours are not conducive to free time for hobbies, he has now gotten a day job that has let him
come back home to music. He has been a member of Spectrum Singers since September 2023 and has volunteered as the Bass section leader and Events Director during that time.
KATIE LOPEZ | Treasurer | SHE/HER/ELLA
Katie moved to Spokane with her spouse in 2023 without knowing a single person and joined Spectrum Singers in Spring 2023, where she quickly found the most welcoming group of humans imaginable. Her current hyper-fixation snack is IT’S-IT mini ice cream sandwiches, and her favorite letter of the alphabet is J. She has a six-year-old rescue Chihuahua named Sofía, who makes up most of her personality. Katie spends her days cuddling Sofía, reading, exercising purely for the endorphins, and watching trashy reality TV—with intention.
KATIE PARKINS | Marketing Director | SHE/HER
Katie joined Spectrum Singers in Fall of 2024. She’s lived all over Washington, but Spokane has been home since 2018. She creates graphics for the choir because music should look as good as it sounds, and because she apparently has a proclivity for Russian nesting hobbies. She’s grateful to be part of such a talented group and to help share powerful messages with the community. Currently, Katie is obsessed with her adopted son/pom-chi mix Fennec, her cats Percy and Fig, crochet, guerrilla gardening, the latest Animal Crossing update, and roasted sweet potatoes with dumpling sauce.
CHARLIE WILD | Organizational Director | SHE/HER
Charlie has worked in all sorts of fields of entertainment from acting, singing, dancing, filming, stand-up and magic. She loves rainbows and Star Trek and tries to live the ideals of both. She lives at home with her wife and their partner, and their three kids, along with an ever-changing number of rescues and animals. Charlie loves dollhouse miniatures, arts & crafts and video games but her favorite activity is by far sleeping. I mean… spending time with her beloved children.
TAYLOR HARRIS | Grants Writer | SHE/THEY
Taylor grew up in western Washington but always wanted to explore the eastern side of the state. Now calling Spokane home, they live with their partner, two cats, and their dog. Taylor sang in choir from elementary school through college and has always loved the sense of community that comes from singing together.
They work on corporate social responsibility programs for a local credit union, and finding Spectrum Singers has brought that community spark back into their life. When they’re not working or singing, Taylor enjoys hiking, kayaking, gaming, and listening to music—especially heavy metal.
SAMUEL RAYNOR | Member At Large
Samuel joined Spectrum Singers in Spring of 2024.
LICHEN CORRICK | Member At Large | THEY/THEM
Lichen joined Spectrum Singers in Fall 2019, and their favorite song the choir has performed is still I’m Still Standing by Elton John, proof that peaking early isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Outside of singing, Lichen’s interests include D&D, witchcraft, the Discworld novels, linguistics, and glitter (sometimes all at once). While they can’t swim, can’t dance, and don’t know karate, they can sing, which feels like the most important skill of all.
