About The Lasses
Sophie Janna and Margot Merah sing together like sisters. Songs from the Celtic and American traditions and personal original songs are brought with clear voices, heavenly harmonies and full hearts. The Lasses specialize in strong stories that speak to audiences now as much as when the songs were first written. Accompanying themselves on bodhrán and guitar, the unique blend of the women’s voices takes the center stage.

Since their beginnings at an Irish session in Amsterdam in 2012, The Lasses have sung their music across the world, having played in 9 countries so far: besides their home country of The Netherlands, they have toured in Belgium, Germany, Ireland (invited by Luka Bloom), England, Scotland, Canada, Japan, and the United States (with Kathryn Claire).

In 2019, their international tours will bring them to Germany (April 2019), Scotland (May 2019), England (June 2019) and the United States (November 2019). When they are not on tour, they still go to the session at the Irish pub at which they first met: Mulligans in Amsterdam, where their favourite session takes place every Wednesday night in the backroom. The address: Amstel 100, Amsterdam.  

The press praised The Lasses’ third album Live at de Parel van Zuilen, a collaboration with violin player and singer-songwriter Kathryn Claire:
