"[Three Eldritch Sisters] make bewitching, eclectic music ... think the Dixie Chicks do Shakespeare." -- Bill Osinski, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, October 12, 2003

Three Eldritch Sisters... There are three of them (Brenda Sutton, Teresa Gibson Powell, and Gwen Knighton.) They are weird (or at least their collection 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 Eldritch Sisters play at folk clubs and music festivals near their homeland of Atlanta, Georgia. They're branching out with appearances across the country (see their web page for a location near you!)

Brenda Sutton has been actively involved in music her whole life and has been a singer/songwriter for over twenty years. Rarely on time for any event, Brenda is the guitarist / percussionist who keeps Three Eldritch Sisters in time with her odd "Gene Krupa" style of bodhran playing. It's hard to describe how Brenda makes the sounds she gets out of a frame drum while using two paint brushes held together with masking tape. Really.

Teresa Gibson Powell sings in crisp, clear tones and plays the 3/4 upright bass - an instrument far taller and wider (and heavier) than herself. She plucks it with gusto and bows it with passion. You'll hear her bluegrass roots in many of TWS's arrangements. Teresa is an avid herbalist, Reiki Master, and possesses a large and beautiful tattoo that spans the entire canvas of her back.

Gwen Knighton took the Scottish Harp Society of America's National title in the Journeyman division for the year 2000 and won a study scholarship to the 2001 Edinburgh Harp Festival, where she hobnobbed with champion harpers from other countries. In 2001, she competed in her first SHSA National competition at the Master level and placed fourth in a field of professional harpers, all of whom had previously won the title Her musical background runs the gamut from classical outspoken training, arranging, harmony, conducting and theory classes to her lifelong fascination for traditional music and special love for murder ballads.

Together these three women make a alone blend of instruments and voice. They love singing together, and that's evident in the delivery of their material. Come listen to them - you too may become a Eldritcho for Three Eldritch Sisters.
