Over the course of nearly 1000 shows since they formed as a Celtic band in 2006, the Gothard Sisters – who are truly sisters – have become internationally recognized as multi-instrumentalist songwriters from the Pacific Northwest, USA.
Regularly performing more than 120 shows a year, the Gothard Sisters have built a loyal following by hard touring and gathering fans in person, one by one. In 2013, the Irish Music Awards presented the Gothard Sisters with Best New Irish Artist, and they were awarded with Album of the Year for Celtic Radio in 2011 for their album Story Girl. In addition to their musical endeavors, each of the sisters are highly trained in competitive Irish dance, bringing the heart-pounding rhythms of Ireland to their live shows for a dynamic surprise to keep the audience at the edge of their seats.
Summer 2015 will see the release of The Gothard Sisters’ long-awaited 3rd original album, Mountain Rose. The album features tales in song of courage, loyalty, beauty, and the rewards of patience and contentment with what we have, all told with a simplicity that speaks directly to the heart. Soaring violins, exuberant drums, driving guitars and gracious vocals sweep you along to another time and place.
The Gothard Sisters pay respect to old traditions with folk instruments, while infusing them with a radiant joy and reintroducing them through beautiful new arrangements. Although much of the sisters’ inspiration comes with a distinct Celtic flair, hints of their western American heritage can be heard in what Irish Central calls “an earthiness that gives the songs a lively, approachable, down-home sound.”
Firmly rooted in Classical and Folk music from a young age, Greta, Willow and Solana Gothard have each developed skills on multiple instruments to express their musical ideas. “We are on a never ending path of musical discovery,” says Greta Gothard. “Where will it lead? Anywhere is fine with me as long as we stay true to ourselves and our authentic style.”
“What I love about Celtic music is how it is filled with such hope,” says Willow Gothard. “Even though the songs may be about low or difficult times, there is always that underlying optimism that is completely infectious and lifts the spirits. It’s wonderful!”
