Sweetback Sisters
“Honky-Tonk for the modern-day cowboy and girl!”
Like their pseudo-sister role models, the Davis Sisters, the Sweetback Sisters sing country songs in close harmony and matching dresses. Their repertoire combines several passions: country music from before they were born, and new interpretations of those traditions, to create a fresh take on what it means to "be country."
The Sweetback line-up features the lavish voices of Zara Bode and Emily Miller joined by an all-star cast of instrumentalists including: West Virginian triple threat Jesse Milnes; Stefan Amidon on drums; Philly's stringed slayer Ross Bellenoit on rippin' Telecaster, and a the newest Sweetback Sister Bridget Kearney on bass.
Their debut EP earned them a spot on A Prairie Home Companion's talent contest for twenty-somethings. Their first full-length album, Chicken Ain't Chicken, was released in 2009 on the prestigious Signature Sounds label. This is one of those great young bands that proves folk music has bright future!
