ABOUT

Otter BewITCHed is a singer, songwriter bodhran player, poet, and storyteller who empowers through story and song.

She beats her bodhran beyond its believed boundaries, exploring its roots in pagan liturgy, its widespread use in Celtic reels, jigs, and polkas, and her own branching out into folk, country and rock. Kindled in wonder, she leaps to heat up the air she breathes, bellowing out her own bodhran beats and ballads in joyous gratitude!

Writing since age nine, she won her first poetry contest while attending West Virginia University, where she studied English and Spanish. Pulling from her ever evolving understanding of the human experience over marriage, motherhood, and 25 years of public service in research management and data transformation in Washington State government, she reinterprets narratives of female sacrifice as calls for renewal and revelation!
