“The happiest discovery for me this summer was the arrival of the Mountain Maidens cd “We’ll Walk The Road Together.” Their vocal clarity along with creative and striking arrangements gives a new freshness to a wide variety of older songs.  They are my new favorite women’s trio — a great group.”  –Bob Sherman WFUV/WQXR radio host of Woody’s Children September 2018

Three dynamic voices blended in splendid ancient and modern harmonies that will lift your spirit, excite your senses and warm your heart.   They sing ballads, folk songs, Medieval, Irish Traditional music, love songs, country and gospel songs including themes of social justice to the accompaniment of guitars, banjo, dulcimer, bouzouki, dumbec, spoon, castanets and lots of percussion instruments including washboard.  They met at Swing The Teapot Irish Pub in Floral Park where they were singing Irish music for St. Patrick’s day they knew right then and there they would be a trio. There was instant magic,  harmony and camaraderie. Marie plays just about every string and percussion instrument there is (guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, Irish Bouzouki, dumbec, bones and spoons) and sings British and American folksongs and Jewish music. Candice (Candy) Baranello is a member of the Long Island group Wild Ginger. She plays dulcimer, washboard, and bodhran and sings traditional, Old Timey, classical and gospel. Lorraine is a member of the Huntington Choral Society, plays guitar and flamenco castanets, dance board and sings in a beautiful alto. They are accompanied at special concerts by Harpist, guitarist and vocalist, Jean Farnworth and Irish Fiddler Madelaine Dillon and other talented musicians when called upon.
