Kossoy Sisters Concert History

The Kossoy Sisters are an American folk and old time music act based around the identical twin sisters Irene Saleton and Ellen Christenson. When they were seventeen, the New York born sisters recorded the album Bowling Green which features the sisters' close harmonies and accompaniment by Erik Darling. The duo were introduced to a new audience when their version of "I'll Fly Away" was used in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?.
