Whether you’re new to Celtic music or an avid fan of the eclectic genre, it’s necessary to add the fabulous The Gothard Sisters to your regular playlist. The talented trio of sisters Greta, Solana, and Willow have over 15 years of creating music together and have performed in many popular venues, including the Kennedy Center and on the Disney Cruise in Europe.

In addition to their tremendous performing schedule, The Gothard Sisters have an impressive 10 albums and over 2,000 shows to their name. There’s no wonder this trio is respected, admired, and continues to thrive as a musical act to this day – especially for Celtic Radio listeners!

As a holiday surprise, The Gothard Sisters have recently released their new album, A Celtic Christmas, right in time for the festive season. Beginning the record is many’s favorite carol, “Angels We Have Heard On High,” which demonstrates the sisters’ ethereal harmonies that come together as one lovely sound. Midway through the record, the Gothard Sisters deliver a jaunty rendition of “I Saw Three Ships” to evoke Christmas joy as we near the holidays. Other standout tracks include an instrumental version of “Deck The Halls” with energetic bliss that all will be delighted to sing and dance along to while opening gifts.

You can visit the Gothard Sisters on CelticRadio.net and request their song during our special “A Celtic Christmas” broadcast.

Erin Ruth

If you are looking to pick up a CD in our monthly giveaway contest, then this month might be just what you are looking for.

Erin Ruth is a musician from San Francisco who plays both Celtic and Folk songs. Her musical abilities started at a young age when she was influenced by Celtic Films brought home by her mother. She was inspired by the 1997 Celtic Moods compilations as well as the Cranberries.

She arrived in San Francisco in 2012 and became part of the Celtic music scene performing with local artists and then venturing off to the West of Ireland to participate in sessions at Galway, Ennis and Coolin. She began recording this album in 2018 because she wanted it to be a celebration of finding a long lost part of herself in California through Irish music.

A Five Star Review
In some ways it is a reflection of many us – discovering Irish and Scottish music is like finding a long lost part of yourself that you did not know exist. Afterall, we do play the music of our Ancestors and this first release by Erin fits right into the type of music we play. A beautiful and inspiring compilation of songs that will have you longing for a trip to Ireland (or Scotland).

We invite you to help support Erin’s music by listening to her music and purchasing her CD:
