The Merry Wives of Windsor

About Me

The Merry Wives of Windsor is an electrifying all-female group who perform Celtic and Folk music. These ladies offer an exciting mix of original, contemporary and traditional songs. From their rollicking, hard-hitting, bawdy numbers to their soulful and melancholy ballads, these ladies have captivated audiences wherever they perform. These ladies have graced the stages of The Grove of Anaheim, The Derby in Hollywood, The Galaxy Theatre, and many street fairs and Celtic Festivals. The Wives can also be found performing at Renaissance Faires throughout California.
