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
