The Gothard Sisters are three sisters – Greta, Willow, and Solana. They are contemporary Celtic folk multi-instrumentalists, composers, performers and songwriters. Blending Celtic, folk, world, classical and new age musical influences, the Gothard Sisters bring songs to life with violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin, bodhran, djembe, whistle and vocal harmonies, creating music that is inspirational and captivating. Their special brand of Celtic-inspired original music pays respect to the older traditions of folk and classical music, while reintroducing them to a modern audience through beautiful new arrangements.The sisters’ theatrical flair also brings a youthful feel to the tradition of Celtic music, bridging the gap between modern pop music and Folk-Rock with an upbeat style that has been described as “beautifully-arranged Celtic folk-pop.” Raised and homeschooled by artists in the Pacific Northwest, their music takes inspiration from folk music traditions around the world, timeless stories, new age and classical records, and nature itself. The band has released 10 albums, performed over 2,000 live shows, and had global plays of 34 million over the course of their career. The Gothard Sisters were favorites at our 2015 Summer Solstice Festival and last joined us in 2018. We are excited to have them return to kick off BRT’s 25th season!
