Three Weird Sisters

There used to be three of them Now they are four. They are weird (or at least their repertoire and presentation of songs is weird, everything from Renaissance ballads to 'country on a harp' to sf with a twist.) And they are sisters of a sort (different parents, same heart.)
Three Weird Sisters play the folk clubs, music fests, gatherings, and conventions near their homeland of Atlanta, Georgia. They've branched out with appearances as far away as CONDUIT in Salt Lake City, Utah and Columbus, Ohio as the Guests of Honor for OVFF 2001 (the Ohio Valley Filk Fest.)
The Sisters released their debut CD, Rite the First Time, in 2001 and received excellent reviews and radio play in the US, Canada, UK, Virgin Islands, Norway, and even Romania! Their second CD, Hair of the Frog, is scheduled for release in January 2004.
Together these women make a unique blend of instruments and voices described as "what the Carter family would have sounded like if they'd done filk / folk / Celtic / blues / insert music type." They love singing together, and that's evident in the delivery of their material. Come listen to them and you too may become a "Weirdo" for Three Weird Sisters.

Bill Osinski, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, October 12, 2003
[Three Weird Sisters] make bewitching, eclectic music ... think the Dixie Chicks do Shakespeare.
Folk with a Celtic and even Bluegrass flavor, Rite the First Time swings from the sublime to the silly and from the material to the spiritual in eclectic mixes of harmonic vocals and acoustic instruments (harp, guitar, bodhran, and upright bass).
Songs include: Dumb Dumb Dorothy, Rite of Passage, What'll I Do With the Baby-O, On We Go, Pity Party, Little Boy Blue, Boys Want Sex in the Morning, Six Days The Bird Rock, Absolutely Bonkers, Song of Fey Cross When Fall Comes to New England, Spring Strathspey, Iowa, In a Gown Too Blue
