The Solstice Sisters are Maggie Hunter, Susan Staley, and Anna Durden -- three women harmonizing old time country ballads, traditional folk and '40s styled swing. They are known not only for their lovely three-part harmonies, but also for their spontaneous and energetic live shows.

They recently released their new CD, The Rest of the Year, featuring David Blackmon playing fiddle and mandolin, Dick Daniels on stand up bass and Tommy Jordan on claw hammered banjo. The CD is a mix of traditional old-time and bluegras-styled ballads and swing songs and also feature some original songs from the sisters.

It was way back in 1994 that these three first got together to work up a few Christmas songs for a holiday event and it was the beginning of The Solstice Sisters and also the beginning of a long-lasting friendship and partnership in song. In 1999 they released their album,

Holiday Music From Around the World, which is now in its second pressing. And now after 10 years of fans asking for a recording they could listen to the rest of the year, the sisters were proud to release their second album entitled simply The Rest of the Year.

The Sisters have performed at many festivals in Northeast Georgia, including the 2008 Bear on the Square Mountain Festival and the 2008 HemlockFest in this area, and have shared the stage with the likes of Doc Watson, Doyle Larson & Quicksilver, Ralph Stanley & His Clinch Mountain Boys and many more. They have become regulars at the Mountain Medicine and Music Show, a live radio show in Dahlonega, and have performed at WUGA's radio broadcast "Once In A Blue Moon" and "It's Friday. They were also featured on the state wide public radio show "Georgia Gazette".
