Castlebay are Maine musicians Julia Lane, vocals, harp, folklorist, and Fred Gosbee, vocalist, storyteller, guitars, fiddles, flutes. Formed in 1987, Castlebay is known for their compelling vocals and skilled accompaniments, their knowledge of historical context, and their engaging rapport with an audience.

Julia is an award-winning performer on the Celtic harp and with Fred's talent as a multi-instrumentalist they weave a wonderful tapestry of words and music.  Their repertoire runs from olden times to the present .  Equally comfortable in period costume or modern dress, they excel at presenting ancient ballads, 18th century instrumental music, and their own compositions in an accessible, engaging fashion.

Throughout the year, these Maine musicians tour a variety of concerts and shows to theatres, arts centres and halls throughout the the US and Canada. They have toured extensively in the UK and have performed at the American University in Kosovo. They are on the touring roster on the New England Foundation for the Arts and are proud members of the American Federation of Musicians Local 1000, AFL-CIO.
