— from Bethany Marie for Orcas Center —
Orcas Center is pleased to welcome The Gothard Sisters, a dynamic musical group of three sisters who play contemporary Celtic music. Through 10 years performing, touring and writing music together, the optimistic style of their music and performances continue to resonate with their fans, building a loyal international following. Their latest all-original album release, Midnight Sun, reached #6 on the Billboard World Music charts as the highest-ranking debut on the chart.
Blending Celtic, folk, classical, world and northwest musical influences, The Gothard Sisters bring songs to life with violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin, bodhran, djembe, octave violin, whistle and vocal harmonies, creating music that is “vivid, inspirational and captivating.” (Tim Carroll, Folk Words Review 2018)
Writing and recording near their home in the Pacific Northwest between touring nationally, the band has released seven albums and has performed over 1,000 live shows over the course of their career.
The Gothard Sisters play on Center Stage, Friday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $15-$47 and are available at www.OrcasCenter.org.
