Kaylee Tilton, a Ukulele Favorite at the Market, Graduates From Berklee

The young busker solicited donations for college while charming crowds at the Edmonds Museum Summer Market.

In July 2011, Edmonds Patch on music performers at the Edmonds Museum Summer Market.

We included a picture of then-21-year-old Kaylee Tilton, an ’08 Edmonds-Woodway grad, as she strummed a ukulele over a sign that promised donations would go to her education at the world-famous Berklee College of Music in Boston.

We're happy to report that Kaylee has now graduated from Berklee. Those of you who've donated to Tilton's fund last year and this year can take pride in that.

Tilton received a bachelor of music in music therapy from the president of Berklee College of Music, Roger Brown.

That seems appropriate, as Tilton's music was certainly a balm for those strolling the packed isles of the market.
