Happy Happy Halloween from the Gothard Sisters!
Yesterday we went pumpkin searching and picking in the mud and the rain, which was very enjoyable. Then we had a great time carving creative pumpkins back at the house while enjoying hot apple cider, pumpkin pie and spicy, salty pumpkin seeds.
Then Willow decided that this year she was going to carve a very ambitious pumpkin with the new Gothard Sisters logo on it – it actually kind of worked, check it out!
We are so excited for the worldwide release of Story Girl tomorrow. We’ll see you then, and until then stay safe and have a happy Halloween!
Greta, Willow and Solana

Well… Here we are sitting in the studio, without instruments (which is a rather odd feeling) and listening to our finished songs without critical ears for the first time in 7 months.
Tonight we are doing the final mixdown of the cd. It’s amazing how many hours of life and energy and inspiration mixed with trial and error and learning can fit on a little tiny skinny disc. That little disc is pretty awesome though- send it out into the world and thousands of people can experience the same things, practically in the blink of an eye. That is why I love making music; so I can share it! Because music is an experience.
Anyway, before I go and wax too poetic on you, here is what happens now. Once we have our final mixdown, we head to a different recording studio ( and a fresh set of ears, very important!) and get it mastered. What mastering does, basically, is make all the songs “finished” by adding space before and after them and then filling out the sound so the songs sound good on any kind of cd player, radio or stereo.
Then it all gets sent off to New Jersey and we wait…and wait…. And wait…. Until UPS pulls up at the door with the boxes of CDs and we can ship out all our pre-orders and listen to the cd again.
So… Speaking of preorders, have you gotten yours yet?

The rain is coming down outside, “It’s the Little Things,” with it’s soft violins and vocals and mandolin is playing inside, Willow and Solana are both reading books on the couches… I can’t believe we are nearly done. I love this album. I hope you do, too.
Signing off for now,
Greta
A very loose bodhran. Solution? Backstage space heater!! 
Hello all!
At the moment we are resting backstage between shows at the awesome Puyallup fair. We’ve had a great time here so far on the fountain plaza stage doing three different shows a day and meeting everyone after. Probably the highlights so far would include a couple days ago when we were doing the Devil Went Down to Georgia and I asked the audience to vote, a man yelled out “the blonde one!”. Lol I think we all got a good laugh out of that one.
We only have one more show here tonight and then we’re mixing the new album for a few days, hopefully jogging once or twice, and then flying to Iowa for the Clay County Fair. That’ll be our first time doing a show in Iowa!
And then we’ll be back again for the last weekend of the Puyallup fair.
Ok, heading out to see some more shows! Ttyl,
Greta
