Sweetback Sisters

Like their pseudo-sister role models, the Davis Sisters, the Sweetback Sisters sing country songs in close, surrogate-sister harmony and matching dresses. Their repertoire combines several of the Sisters' 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 “Bang!” was released in early 2007 and earned them a spot on A Prairie Home Companion’s talent contest for twenty-somethings. A full length album “Chicken Ain’t Chicken” is scheduled for release in June ’09 on the Signature Sounds label.
