Sisters Erie
Four distinct voices, shaped by years of singing and playing side by side.
The band
The band began with four sisters listening to one another.
Sisters Erie grew up singing, playing, and hearing traditional stories in a musical family. By the time they were appearing at school events and local functions, they already knew how to exchange a lead and find the harmony around it.
Their sound puts traditional material and instruments to work alongside folk-rock momentum, story songs, and four-part harmony. Fiddle, bodhrán, guitar, harp, and keyboards each have a real place in the arrangement.
Early performances in County Laois led to The Coming Storm, a first U.S. run, and the nineteen-show Wind & Rain Tour.
