Causeacon is thrilled to announce the Harp Twins are coming to Causeacon 2019!

Harp Duo

As the world’s only identical twin professional harpists, Camille and Kennerly were trained classically (with University degrees in Harp Performance), but have a passion and flair for arranging and performing rock, metal, and soundtrack music for Harp Duet. The Harp twins have also shown themselves to be formidable composers with their Nordic-inspired original songs – harkening to their Scandinavian heritage. Camille and Kennerly perform on statuesque Acoustic and Electro-Acoustic Concert Grand Harps as well as Electric Harps. Camille and Kennerly have created a unique niche for themselves: playing rock and metal music using only their two harps. With no backtracks, no studio, no production crew and no record label, the Harp Twins are the archetype of true trail-blazing independent artists.

Repertoire

In addition to their Nordic-inspired original songs, Camille and Kennerly are recognized for their remarkable duet harp arrangements of some of rock and metal’s most iconic hits by the likes of Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, Blue Oyster Cult, Scorpions, Eagles, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, U2, Journey, Evanescence, Billy Idol, Deep Purple, and many more. Showing the breadth of their arranging talents, the twins also arrange and perform TV and Movie Soundtrack, Anime, and Video Game hits. Some fan favorites include their renditions of music from Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Star Trek, Star Wars, Vikings, Doctor Who, Zelda, Mario, Silent Hill, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings.

Camille and Kennerly have released 6 self-produced albums: Harp Attack, Harp Attack 2, Harp Attack 3, Harp Fantasy, Harp Fantasty 2, and Winter Lights.
