Having performed in Israel/ Palestine and in many parts of the world, SONiA's Judaic roots live in the colors of her songs and paintings.

Singing in Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic and English, her powerful honesty touches people of varied social and ethnic backgrounds, especially those moving towards a positive world vision. SONiA’s independent record label, disappear records, donates 18% of every download to the United Nations World Food Program. www.dissapearfear.com   "After almost 20 years as an artist activist and expressive arts therapist, I decided to write down and record some of the words and music that have been playing in my head for as long as I can remember,” Says singer songwriter Robinlee Garber. This Parting Gift is the 5 song EP project with special guests The Giving Tree Band.
”I decided to write down and record some of the words and music that have been playing in my head for as long as I can remember. Each song on this EP is a sample of my writing style and musical interests, which is inspired in part by the people with whom
I have met, helped, or worked throughout the years. Everyone experiences both the joys and struggles of relationships, whether they are with another person, a group of people, one's inner self, or a higher power. Humans are social creatures, and I am forever intrigued as to how we try (or don't try) to relate to one another.”  www.robinleegarber.com
