Elizabeth Hangan, Marguerite Millard and Ellen Harper are longtime musicians are now performing together as the Citrus Sisters. They will be on the Claremont Presbyterian Church stage playing some of their own tunes as well as traditional folk songs with an invitation to the audience to sing a long. Harper, Hangan, and Millard have had personal connections for decades. Harper’s parents opened the Folk Music Center in Claremont in 1958. Millard learned to play guitar from Harper’s mother. And Hangan’s parents in San Bernardino and Harper’s parents in Claremont were friends.

The Citrus Sisters perform such tunes as Bob Dylan’s “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere,” the gospel singalong “This Little Light of Mine,” Holly Near’s “Singing for Our Lives,” the spiritual “Wade in the Water,” the calypso classic “Day-O,” Millard’s composition “Noah” and Harper’s own “City of Dreams.” Besides performing as the Citrus Sisters, each has her own projects. Millard has a band, Squeakin’ Wheels. Harper’s 2021 memoir, "Always a Song,” received wide attention, including a NPR interview by Terry Gross, and she’s in her store five days a week. Hangan performs with various combinations of musicians, from funk to world music, around Southern California.
