Dinner & Music The Girls From Away

Caroline and Nancy sing as the duo “The Girls from Away”, and have been working and singing
together for years. They love to explore the rich musical heritage and connections between the
British Isles and Americas through their songs and rich harmonies. They perform locally and
really enjoy researching and sharing traditional songs as well as writing their own. They have
produced and performed programs such as “From Maritimes to Mountains – The Songs of the
Eastern Seaboard from Newfoundland to the Carolinas” and the upcoming “Songs for the
Women”.
Caroline has loved to sing since before she could speak. She is an award-winning, published
poet who writes in Scottish Gaelic and has been featured in programs on the BBC Radio for her
original songwriting. She also loves to spin, weave, celebrate nature, and travel. Her songs can
be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-tYC3-HEgufl445tmzm4QQ.
Nancy began playing guitar and singing in church at the age of 13. It was the music of
John Denver that inspired her to branch out from Christian worship songs to folk music.
She has also written songs about family and the New England coast. Nancy’s other
interests include walks in the country, kayaking, visiting Maine, and being creative
(painting, drawing, decorating). You can find a few of her songs on reverbnation.
