(l-r) Jan Eppelsheimer, Karen
Bjorklund, Steve Carr, Sally Campbell and Donna Kagan |
Karen has been playing, singing
and creating music since she was 7 years old. She likes to explore
new instruments or think up new ways to use old instruments; don't
be surprised if she switches instruments during a tune. Karen says
her interest in Celtic music isn't just because she is descended
from a clan appointed hereditary clan pipers - it's because she
loves the tunes. |
Sally started with the violin at an early age, drifted away when
she built a new career and family, and came back to her instrument
when her twin boys showed an interest in music. She likes a variety
of musical styles, including classical and Celtic, particularly
Scottish Celtic (she is a Campbell, after all). |

Steve has been playing stringed instruments since he was 12 years
old and practically grew up in McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica,
California. He has always loved traditional music, particularly
the Scots-Irish music of the Appalachian region. Steve
also plays the mandolin in our band.

Jan's voice has been her instrument of choice for as long as she can remember. She grew up in a large family, and could be found singing and dancing most every Sunday at her grandparents’ home. When her husband surprised her with a birthday gift of a hammered dulcimer, she took to it with a passion, and is thrilled to play it as part of the band. |

Donna was born in Scotland, grew up in Wales, and emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1979. She started playing the recorder since the age of six, and later studied both piano and harp. Donna finds playing arrangements of Celtic music therapeutic, and playing in the group to be lots of fun! |
