Celia Farran is a Singer/Songwriter/Looping & Recording Artist/Sound Healer/Producer/Comedienne/Activist. She is known as The Everyday Goddess for her signature song by that name. Her one-woman shows are described as ‘A Celia Cabaret’ and span the gamut from folk to spirituality to comedy. She has been described as “A cross between an Earthy Enya, Joan Baez, and Tina Fey.”
She dishes up the most delicious concoction of the silly and sacred, delighting audiences across the globe. With amber red locks and twinkling eyes she casts a spell of enchantment upon her listeners. She gifts those in her audience with a warm, deep and resonating experience touching not only the heart, but one’s whole being.
She is known for the profound sound of her angelic and soulfully strong voice and her engaging presence. ”Beauty and talent equally matched,” writes Terry Corr, Midwest Folk Magazine. The Irish American News reports, “Celia’s silky voice will transport you to other lands.” Recording artist Jana Stanfield states “Celia is a captivating and awesome performer.”
Excelling at comedy, she often transforms right on stage into one or more of her alter-egos-whose antics typically leave the audience howling with laughter. With powerful, heart-felt vocals and wacky comedic improvisations, the audience never knows what will happen with Celia on stage.
Celia has opened for notable authors: Marianne Williamson, Dr. Masaru Emoto, Susan Weed, Donna Eden, and Swami Beyondanonda (aka Steve Berhman), provided live music for the Off-Broadway production of “Rum & Vodka”, & has received a “Best Storytelling CD” nomination for “Irish Tales” by the International Just Plain Folks Awards (The Grassroots of Grammies). Her “Symbol” song has been named the “Anthem for the Veteran Pentacle Quest” in support of Religious tolerance & acceptance.
Celia often uses sophisticated “looping” technology to perform duets, trios, and even larger ensembles with herself on stage. Nothing is pre-recorded. She lays down a track then using the looping technology harmonizes with herself — all live and in real time. The result is an amazing listening experience for the audience.
She is originally from Wisconsin and now calls Whidbey Island, Washington her home. Her most recent (13th) album is titled “KARMA” and she writes and records a song every week for her Patreon Song Club. No matter how many times you think you’ve seen Celia, you can never predict what she will do and how deeply she can reach into the soul of an audience. Celia’s range of styles and entertainment is far more than a concert. It is more like a full Cabaret.
Celia and Cecilia
Celia’s mother Cecilia wrote a series of posts for Pagan Song that are about Celia’s music. They are collected on Cecilia Farran the Elder’s author page. Well worth reading! (Start with part 1.)
Celia and The Red Album
“The Power of the Goddess flows though me
The Power of the Goddess flows though you.
Through our bodies, through our blood, you remind us who we are.
We are precious, we are sacred, wild and free.”
Celia Farran is one of 19 pagan artists whose songs are included in the pro-choice compilation The Red Album: Pagan Voices for Reproductive Rights. About her piece The Power of the Goddess, she says; “I believe wholeheartedly in personal sovereignty. Each person must have the right to exercise freedom to choose what they deem is in alignment for their own bodies, minds, spirits, and time. I am here to awaken and remind women of our undeniable worth and power. We are precious, we are sacred, wild, and FREE.”
