Artist description Rich and seamless vocal blend that is rivaled only by rare 'sibling harmonies,' Melody and Fae come to their collaboration and their repertoir as though they were born to it. Accompanying themselves with guitar, mandolin, penny whistle, and traditional percussion, the women of SYREN bring a delightful and challenging range of song from Old Scots jigs and reels, to mystical Irish love songs, to passionate ballads and dancey tunes of their own composition. Hearing the Syren song is an enchanting experience and a musical must for fans of contempory folk and traditional Celtic music!
