Rock harp + guitar + voices

With their unique instrumentation (harp and guitar), soaring vocal harmonies, and unforgettable original songs, The Callen Sisters make an impact from the first listen. More than a singer-songwriter duo, they are family, friends, and musical partners. They share each other’s lives, a closeness that informs their music and that is displayed to stirring effect on their self-titled debut album, which stands as a testament of shared experience, loss, and love.

Band Members:
Beth Callen - vocals, guitars, songwriting
Jessa Callen - vocals, harp, songwriting

Backup Band (sometimes we play with any combination of these fine young gentlemen):

Dan Castellani - keyboard or bass
Chris Anderson - bass
Dave Gluck - drums
Brian Killeen - bass
Ryan Vaughn - percussion

Harmony, Melody, or Lyrics?

As a songwriter, how does the creative process begin? By plugging away at some guitar chords? Some plunkety plunk on the piano… or perhaps a melody that has you entranced?

At a very early age, I loved to write lyrics and build little melodies around them, but as of late, I find myself mostly writing the harmony first. (Being mainly a guitarist that means a chord progression or riff, although the piano is transforming that process for me). Lyrics are written in a slew of notebooks in various corners of my ‘music room’ and melody always comes last. Now this is a very personal formula…a custom formula, you could say. I’m sure many people have it quite different than that.

The most blessed experience is when a song comes all at once ̵...
