This highly popular Western Swing trio of sisters mix a blend of sounds borrowed from Western swing, gypsy jazz, and folk – all filtered through a dash of Vaudevillian flair. Performing for more than 15 years, the three sisters front an innovative progressive western swing band of guitar, upright bass, fiddles and swooning sibling harmonies. The impressive talent springing from their triple fiddles have arguably opened-up the appeal for this early country music style to a greater audience than anything else over the last 15 or so years. Innovation has led the sisters to channel the musical connection between danceability and emotiveness. It’s not nostalgia that drives the band as purveyors of Western Swing, but the aspiration to take the music back to its roots and sustain it’s innovative spirit.
