WuHu. The singer-songwriter duo featuring Bekah Zachritz on vocals, bass, guitar and violin — and Bob Paltrow on acoustic & electric guitars and keys.

Our music incorporates elements of rock, jazz, pop, folk, blues and gospel with hints of middle-eastern and native influences for a little spicy seasoning.

We create a lot with a little – big minimalism. Our 2-part harmonies have been called “cool,” “different” and “interestingly dark.”

WuHu formed in February of 2015. Bekah Zachritz and Bob Paltrow originally met while performing with the vocal folk group Luminous Skye in the autumn of 2014, in Bellingham, WA.

BEKAH ZACHRITZ originally hails from Macon, Georgia. Her parents moved to Topeka, Kansas when she was a freshman in High School. After graduating with a BA in Music Theatre from Washburn University in Topeka, Bekah performed and toured with Melodie Ayres as a fun comedy pop-folk duo The Smile High Club. In 2012, she moved to Langley, WA to pursue new opportunities in music and Waldorf education, and to raise her now 4-year old son in the beautiful Pacific NW. Currently, she teaches private and group music lessons and works for a Waldorf School on Whidbey Island. Zachritz’s pristine vocals have also been featured with other fine NW artists including Beverly Graham (Seattle), Mr. Feelgood and the Firm Believers (Bellingham) and the all-girl piano/bass/ukelele trio The Three B’s (Bellingham). In addition to performing and songwriting, Bekah is interested in applying her music and people skills to music therapy.
