The Sweetback Sisters

About

Brooklyn-based band The Sweetback Sisters may be located in the indie rock hotbed, but the group is more accurately placed in the musical climate of 1950s and 60s south. Re-imagining the sounds of honky tonk, bluegrass and country of yore, the band is known for their extremely loyal renditions of country classics, as well as their uncanny, vintage-sounding original material. The Sweetback Sisters have been on heavy rotation for listeners of NPR and WNYC, even having the honor to play for a live recording of the Prairie Home Companion. You can find the group on tour with major country and bluegrass festivals through out the Midwest and South, as well as playing at a raucous theater or bar just outside of your hometown.
