Greta here: I have a question for you. Do you listen to albums on CD now? Or have you migrated your listening habits to streaming services or downloads? I'm very curious what your favorite one is, or how your habits have changed, even in the last year.
As for me, I kind of do everything! (Except for maybe downloads
We are so excited to announce the dates, times and locations for this year's annual PNW Celtic Christmas Tour. We'll be stopping in Washington, Oregon and Idaho this year, so we hope everyone will get the chance to come to a Christmas show this year!
As I’m checking in with you all today, it’s already beginning to feel like Autumn: misty mornings, spiderwebs, leaves beginning to fall — and I’m not mad about it. This is my favorite time of year, and as we cozy up in the recording studio to work on the new Celtic Christmas album between tours, I’m reminded of a very particular tune and memories of writing it.
In early Autumn 2020, we released a mysterious instrumental single. We wanted to capture this fleeting time of year — nights are getting longer, days are getting shorter — and it always feels like you’re chasing the sun.
🏜 Inspired by a story our mother once told us about meeting a prospector in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona when she was 6 years old, Meet Me At Dawn tells the tale of a group of friends who get roped into searching for a mysterious gold mine, which refuses to be found.

Here are many photosfrom the last few shows in Japan. We so enjoyed performing for everyone in Okazaki, Seki, Ogeki, Noshiro, Nanyo and Sakata!!
It was so incredibly special to tour around Japan for nearly two months with these amazing people. Not only are they excellent at their work, but they also went above and beyond to be so welcoming, kind, and supportive every day during this very long, very fun tour. We are grateful for their kindness and for all of the great memories made together. Hope to see you all again soon!
