Once named one of the "50 Women Who Rock Seattle” by the Seattle Weekly, Gretta Harley has been playing music in Seattle since the early ‘90s in rock bands, and solo.

A composer, Gretta has also written for orchestra, chamber music and piano. She co-wrote “These Streets,” a play about the forgotten women of the “grunge era” which played to sold out audiences at ACT. Gretta’s new band, Mettle Lark, plays around Seattle. Her new songs are compositions for our time. Songs of hope, love, and courage in a changing world.
