The Relatives
Celebrate St Patrick's Day early!

The Relatives were brought together by marriage and held together by fun, music, and joy. Phil and Sue Cassista (guitar, banjo, fiddle, percussion) are joined by their son-in-law Brian Murphy (bodhran, mandocello, octave mando) into a three piece band that thrives on audience participation, lovely harmonies, and musical surprises.

All three share in the vocals, each bringing a very different sound to the mix. Sue's fiddle knows all the jigs and reels and many lovely singalong ballads and waltzes, too. Our repertoire spans 'Danny Boy" thru "California Dreamin" to "Cat Came Back" and everywhere in between. The Relatives have been found at numerous St Pat's events, birthday parties, retirement homes, and hopefully soon a venue near you.

The Lion Sisters

The Lion Sisters are a sibling duo from New Hampshire known for their tight harmonies and natural musical synchronicity. With Josi on fiddle and vocals and Lily on guitar and vocals, their sound blends folk and bluegrass with Irish fiddle, vintage country, and subtle pop and rock influences—creating a warm, contemporary style that’s distinctly their own.
Raised on a small family farm, the sisters draw inspiration from their rural surroundings, weaving nature and authenticity into their songwriting and visual identity.
This past summer, they performed throughout New England, including at Ossipee Valley Music Festival and several concert series. With their signature sister harmonies and genre-blending sound, they are quickly emerging as a fresh voice in the modern acoustic scene.
