Riddle on the Harp is made up of three housewives who are anything but bored! The Riddle women's diverse repertoire includes traditional tunes, lively celtic jigs, international folk music, original compositions, as well as hymns and childrens lullabies. You will hear unusual instrumental arrangements as well as vocal harmonies; we hope our music will make folks laugh, cry, dance, clap, or even relax and nod off.
You can hear some tunes for our new CD at:

Our band is made up of several women from Bedford County, VA. What started out as two neighbors learning traditional tunes from America and the British Isles gave birth to something more. We just think of it as a series of miracles. You can check out the magazine article with a bit of our background (starts on page 14 of the magazine):
http://law.wlu.edu/magazine/fall2007/Have you performed in front of an audience?RIDDLE plays regularly at area coffeehouses, "First Fridays" concerts, restaurants, weddings, and private parties. We also play at outdoor festivals. We were honored to play at the Grand Opening Reception for the new Bedford Area Visitors Center (at the entrance to the National D-Day Memorial). We also include periodic charitable performances that benefit our community in some way.
You can catch samples of our music here at Soundclick or on our main website (www.riddleontheharp.com).
What equipment do you use?
Our instruments include guitar, bowed psaltery, flute, recorder, harp, mandolin, bodhran, and hammered dulcimer, but we always seem to be on the lookout for just one more. . . Several of our instruments were handcrafted by James Jones, a well-known local luthier.
We haul around our own sound system - 20 channel Yamaha mixer, monitors and speakers etc.Anything else?
We released our first CD "The Riddle" in 2003 and our second one, a Christmas CD, "The Gift" in 2005. Our newest CD "The Song" was released in December 2008.
