"Pure...interesting...and beautiful," Beth Gadbaw & Margot Krimmel are a Colorado-based Celtic harp and vocal duo featuring “lush harmonies, spellbinding rhythms, and lithe interplay between harp and percussion.”(Sylvia Woods Harp Catalogue, The Broomfield Enterprise). The pair gave their first concert together in 1998, and released their first duo album White Birds in 2005. Their second studio album Icy December (2011) includes their original carol, The Donkey and the Doves, which appeared on Colorado Public Radio’s annual top fifty listener favorites for five years. Their 2016 release, Live at the Black Rose Acoustic Society, contains favorites of the duo’s well-established, devoted fan base.
Folksinger Beth Gadbaw came of age singing in Irish pubs and English folk clubs, and recently released her first solo CD, garnering the attention of Ireland’s RTE, WGBH Boston, and the BBC. Award-winning Celtic harpist Margot Krimmel honed her harp skills in the Rocky Mountains and made her way through Europe busking, playing concerts and festivals. Her latest solo harp CD of original compositions has been featured on CPR's Colorado Matters.
Gadbaw & Krimmel were named Boulder County Artists in Residence in 2014.
