New album coming!

Long and Short of It started as a musical duo at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. Founded by Lily Bragg and Naughty Nellie Peachbottom, both brought years of performing experience to the group, with an emphasis on Celtic music, women's songs, and bawdy ballads. Lily's delicate mezzo and Nellie's earthy contralto combine in close harmony with depth and beauty. They perform both a capella and with a variety of instruments including guitar, ukulele, bodhrán, and recorder. Material ranges from rowdy drinking songs with audience participation to lyric ballads.

Never being easily satisfied, the ladies of Long and Short of It soon kidnapped a third for their merry crew! Cue Joni Minstrel, an accomplished musician and songwriter, and also a Renaissance Festival veteran. Now three strong, the band's sound really began to mature. (And so did Nellie)

Coming to the realization that once no one wants to seize yer booty, ye just have to go out and seize theirs, the ladies(we use the term loosely) took to the waves aboard the Crimson Curse. Lily is our brave Captain, Nellie our bosom, er, bosun, and finally Joni, our self taught navigator. (Which explains why we are nowhere near the ocean, currently)

Current plans are to rejoin the Georgia Renaissance Festival in the spring. We will also be releasing a new album! It's in the can, so stay  tuned for more info and possibly a Kickstarter.
