About this concert
Join Whitney Mongé on Saturday at 10:30am on the Eden Hall stage performing for this year's LEAF Retreat Festival!
Each year, we program signature events based on specific themes. Our theme for 2025 is “Each One Teach One,” a powerful mantra that illuminates and inspires the path toward a brighter future. In this interconnected journey, we are both teacher and student, realizing that our shared wisdom can ignite positivity throughout generations by collectively carrying and passing the torch to future generations.
This theme is a testament to the enduring ripple effect of education and mentorship, as we inspire and guide others to discover their unique capabilities. Through this theme, LEAF Global Arts illustrates the transformative journey of passing the torch and fostering an empathetic community across cultures and generations where each individual’s light contributes to the brilliance of the whole. In doing so, we collectively illuminate the world with knowledge, compassion, and shared wisdom.
We look forward to a year of mentorship, learning, and healing through the arts. LEAF Love and Gratitude!

Whitney Monge Biography
Whitney Mongé is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who discovered the power of raw authenticity while honing her craft as a street performer. Whether on a bustling corner or elevated on a stage, her performances captivate with a blend of smoky, soulful vocals and poignant, whispered lyrics that draw listeners into a moment of truth. Raised on rhythm and blues in the Pacific Northwest, Whitney’s sound is shaped by the region’s alternative rock and indie folk scene, culminating in her own genre: Americana Soul.
Her rich, raspy voice, with its distinctive edge, has earned comparisons to artists like Brittany Howard and Lenny Kravitz. Whitney’s songwriting delves into narratives of the underdog, vulnerability, and resilience, evoking the storytelling depth of Tracy Chapman and Richie Havens.
In 2014, Whitney was a featured artist in the award-winning film Find Your Way: A Busker’s Documentary, alongside Chris Ballew of The Presidents of the United States of America and world-renowned violinist Joshua Bell. The three-year chronicle of her journey explores themes of creativity and success through the lens of street performance. The documentary, which was nominated for ten film awards, was screened at the CBGB Festival in New York City.
From 2018 to 2022, Whitney served two terms as a Governor on the Pacific Northwest Recording Academy Chapter Board (GRAMMYs). During her tenure, she advocated for greater local artist representation, organized member outreach events, and built bridges between emerging musicians and the academy’s extensive network. Her passion extends to mentoring up-and-coming artists, where she offers guidance on branding, songwriting, and artist development, and frequently serves as a guest panelist sharing insights from her experience as an independent artist.
With three acclaimed EPs—Steadfast (2014), Stone (2017), and Carry On (2018)—and a live album with the Grammy-winning Seattle Symphony, Whitney Mongé Live with The Seattle Symphony (2021), Whitney’s discography is a testament to her journey as a grassroots powerhouse.
In September 2024, Whitney will be releasing her studio version single of "What Would Love Do Now", followed by performances across the U.S. this fall.
