Acoustic Duo - Siblings - Portland, OR
We provide professional, heartfelt, refined live music for wineries, receptions, private gatherings, and events of all kinds.

Who We Are
Trust In Blood is an acoustic sibling duo based in Portland, Oregon. Our names are Elisa and Samuel Terrazzino- two musicians who grew up with the same childhood soundtrack, the same love for harmony, and the same sense of what music can do when people come together in a room.
We’ve been performing together since 2010, and over the years we’ve played hundreds of shows across wineries, tasting rooms, intimate venues, private parties, corporate gatherings, community events, and holiday celebrations throughout the Pacific Northwest. Our sound blends warm vocals, clean acoustic guitar, soft jazz influences, and familiar melodies into a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that feels timeless and effortless.
When you book us, you’re not just hiring performers- you’re bringing in a duo with a genuine sibling connection, deep musical chemistry, and years of shared experience on stage. We know how to read a room, how to keep things tasteful, and how to create the kind of environment where guests feel comfortable lingering, talking, sipping wine, connecting, and enjoying the moment.

What We Sound Like
Our style is often described as:
Warm

Our goal is never to overpower the space- we’re here to elevate it. Whether you’re hosting a winery tasting, a holiday luncheon, a family celebration, or an intimate private dinner, we bring music that feels natural, inviting, and perfectly matched to the mood of the moment.

Our Musical Background & Professional Experience
Beyond our work as a live duo, we bring a strong professional foundation in recording, teaching, audio production, and performance.

Samuel (Guitar - Multi-instrumentalist - Production - Engineering)
Samuel serves as the head engineer at a professional recording studio in Portland, bringing years of experience producing, engineering, mixing, and mastering music for artists across diverse genres. He also runs a private music-teaching company, working with students of all ages, and is the founder of TonalMark, an audio software development brand creating original music plugins for producers and engineers worldwide.
From acoustic arrangements to vocal mixing, Samuel handles every technical element of Trust In Blood’s recorded music at a professional industry standard. He arranges, performs, records, mixes, and masters everything you hear- ensuring a polished, warm, cohesive sound that translates beautifully in both live and studio settings.
Elisa (Vocals)
Elisa brings a smooth, expressive vocal style that feels warm, soulful, and effortless. Her tone blends beautifully with acoustic guitar and adapts naturally to soft pop, jazz, R&B, and classic hits.

Our Studio Work & Portfolio Album
We released a full-length professionally produced cover album- arranged, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered entirely by the two of us. Check out a few songs from the album in our "Audio" tab here on GigSalad, including Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac, Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey Rae, Be My Baby by The Ronettes, Piano Man by Billy Joel, (I've Had) The Time of My Life by Bill Medley.
This album serves as our portfolio of what we sound like not only live, but also at a polished, studio-quality level. It reflects:
Our musical taste
Our careful attention to detail
Our love for classic songs
Our dynamic as siblings
The warmth we bring to every performance

Our Story
We grew up creating music together. As siblings, we have a lifetime of shared memories tied to songs- learning guitar and piano as kids, singing at family gatherings, writing music, performing in school events, and slowly growing into the musicians we are today.
Music was always our shared language, our connection point, and the thing we could always rely on, no matter what was happening in life.
Over time, that love turned into something professional- from Samuel’s studio career and teaching company, to Elisa’s years of performance and classical vocal training, to our long list of shows around the Pacific Northwest. Trust In Blood represents who we are together as both musicians and siblings.

Our Commitment
We bring heart, professionalism, and experience to every event. Whether we're performing for a quiet afternoon tasting, a cozy holiday gathering, or a meaningful private celebration, we put our best into every moment.
We don’t take shortcuts.
We don’t rush.
We care about the craft, the sound, and the experience we create.
When you book us, you’re getting a duo that truly loves what they do- and it shows.

If you’re looking for elegant, heartfelt acoustic music performed by two musicians with deep experience, real chemistry, and a professional foundation behind every note- we’d love to help make your event unforgettable.

We provide our own high-quality PA system, microphones, stands, and all necessary audio gear. We can adapt our volume, setup, and positioning to fit small to large rooms, outdoor spaces, wineries, private homes, and event layouts of all sizes. All that we require is one dedicated standard power outlet (clean power preferred) within 20-30 feet of the performance area.
