Story Wrens

Traditional folk music trio, the Story Wrens, specializes in historical story songs of the British Isles.

Our music features three-part harmonies accompanied by tenor mandolin, Celtic harp, cello, fiddle, whistle, and other instruments, and our trio includes a wonderful lead singer/storyteller and a harper who has played on a Joan Baez album and guested with the Chieftains.

Playing the Celtic harp, whistle, guitar, fiddle and other folk instruments, the Story Wrens use songs to travel through time and tell stories of knights, maidens, sailors and other figures of the British Isles of centuries ago.  Much of music is traditional, but it also includes compositions from texts of the 17th century, such as a song based on the 1615 narrative poem, Sir Eglamore and the Dragon.
