Brigid – the trio of Emma Smit-Geraghty, Beth Terry, and Sarah Glinz – bring their music to the stage with rich three-part vocal harmonies that transcend genre. Masters of storytelling and song, they draw inspiration from music icons such as Fleetwood Mac, Jann Arden, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King. Their music touches on the many aspects of being a woman, and the joys/struggles that come along with that. They are also active in their community raising awareness and funds for charitable organizations, such as Halifax Sexual Health Centre, Colchester Sexual Assault Centre, The Lotus Centre, CALA, PEI Rape and Sexual Assault Centre, EyeBike NS & Better Together NS.
Brigid is both at home performing covers of iconic music and original music inspired by their lives and experiences. All three are proud to be musicians, music educators, mothers, wives, daughters, and women, and this comes through in their stories and songs.
