Amid the rocky beaches and gentle waves of Quadra Island BC, four women joined voices and hearts - and Willow was born. A love for vocal harmonies drives the backbone of their repertoire, complemented by an array of folk instruments – as basic as a guitar, bass, and ukulele to the diverse sounds of mandolin, balalaika, and banjo. Yet, it is their blended harmonies that capture the attention and the heart of the audience!
The four members of Willow – Andrea Blaseckie, Maureen Fox, Trinity Gogolin and Kelly Beamish – come from varied backgrounds and experiences and this diversity is reflected in the wide-range of musical genres they bring to their highly engaging performances. From the sounds of Appalachia ringing through gospel and bluegrass tunes to the smoky haze of Blues and the harmonic sounds of traditional folk, the purity, beauty and strength of the feminine spirit are an ever present quality, felt as much as heard.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
