The Scarlet Ending was a six-member American indie rock ensemble originating from Syracuse, New York. The band was led by identical twin sisters Kayleigh Goldsworthy (vocals, guitar, violin) and Kaleena Goldsworthy (vocals, piano, accordion, pennywhistle, melodica, ukulele). Other members consisted of Jon Tedd (guitar, vocals), Jess Hafner (cello, synthesizer), Nick Streeter (drums, percussion), and Aaron Garritillo (bass guitar).
History
Formed in 2002 by Kayleigh and Kaleena Goldsworthy while they were still in high school, the group achieved early success by winning their Music Honor Society’s talent competition as well as their school's Battle of the Bands. Their initial release was a self-titled EP in 2004, followed by the full-length album Cries and Whispers in 2006. In 2008, The Scarlet Ending performed tours in Greenland and Germany under Armed Forces Entertainment, returning the following year for a tour across the Middle East.
In 2010, the band launched their album Ghosts. That same year, Syracuse.com debuted The Scarlet Ending Tapes, a reality web series that offered fans an inside look at the band’s activities behind the scenes. Their last EP, titled The Things You Used to Own, came out in 2012.
Although the band officially parted ways in 2012, they briefly reunited for a performance in 2014. Subsequently, Kayleigh Goldsworthy embarked on a solo music path while Kaleena shifted her career focus to bartending.
